I'm looking for some advice. I am 44, half way through my two years in
braces to correct the twisted and overcrowded smile I have from
british dental neglect.

Now I live in USA, I decided to fix my teeth and the braces seem to be
working well. Things are straightening up but I have uneven wear on
the tops of my front teeth, kind of a rollercoaster smile now, legacy
of ignoring the problem. I'm not too worried about it because I'm one
of those people who's lip covers their teeth most of the time anyway.
I really wanted to my teeth straightened as more of a structural issue
than a cosmetic one.

They are telling me now though that I should have veneers too or it is
likely my teeth will go back to their bad habits. I'm disappointed, I
suffered the braces to fix this permanently and am resigned to wearing
a retainer at night to make sure. But I wasn't planning on veneers.

I can't help feeling this is more about my dentists bottom line than
my grin protection.

Any advice? If I forego the veneers will snaggliness return?
