Photoshop needed?? ;)
Here is a young woman who wanted her "snaggle teeth" fixed before her wedding in a few months. This was a fun case to close the space and blend the color in to make it look natural. I did veneers to stay as conservative as possible. #10 was an emax B1 HT block seated with clear Variolink and #11 was an A1 HT block seated with light Variolink. We mixed grey and blue stain for translucency and used white for a halo effect on the incisal. She is really excited!
There has been a lot of discussion on HT vs MT vs LT. I thought for sure that I would switch to MT as being my predominant block but I still use a lot of HT. It really depends on the patients natural teeth if they are more translucent or more opaque.
*Ok Mike I'm ready for my Photoshop lesson for the day ;)
Kristine,
WOW! Nice job. Thanks for sharing, I'm an LT person primarily, haven't had success with the MT block too bright. Anteriors I like empress and triluxe. I think it was you that turned me on to triluxe. All veneers so far, in triluxe.

Great finish Kristine.
Re the photography - have you experimented with trying to increase your depth of field with a bigger fstop number ... Allows us to see your work in context with the surrounding teeth. Nice exposure etc though.
Here is the prep shot. I had to be a little more aggressive then I normally would to take out that rotation.

Pretty good looking preps...must have been that young instructor back in dental school that taught you some skills with your hands :)
