had dental veneers done but 1 tooth is misaligned again!?

Question

Hi,

Could do with abit of advice before I go see my dentist on Friday. I had 4 veneers done on my upper front teeth back in August this year and on the whole I was pleased with the results.

For the last 2 months or so I've noticed 1 of the front teeth with a veneer on has moved outwards slightly and is noticeable, at least to me anyway. They were all straight to begin with and paying so much money to get them done in the first place I'm now not happy and want to do something about it.

I would like to know whether that would mean having to pay for another veneer to re-allign it with my other teeth that are veneered, or whether there was a procedure to file the veneer down to make it thinner and therefore more in line with the rest?

I'm guessing it's the tooth that's at fault? I was told because I have hd fillings in this tooth previously, it's not as strong? I have also been using a mouthguard on my bottom teeth when whitening them, is this catching my upper tooth moving it?

SW,

TALK TO YOUR DENTIST ABOUT HAVING LIMITED FUNCTIONAL ORTHODONTICS TO JUST MOVE THIS TOOTH. YOU MAY NOT NEED TO REPLACE THIS VENEER.
