Suggest Treatment Slit In The Front Teeth

Hello i had a gap between my front two teeth and a normal bite but with a 2 mm overbite in the front witch was normal according to the dentist. I suffered from grinding in my sleep for long so as a result i had miss shaped 4 front teeth (uneven in height and shapes) but not so severe. The doctor then advised me to go for porcelain lumineers for my front 4 teeth since it was more resistant from grinding, and had normal lumineers for the rest of my front teeth. Lower teeth were the same (i whitened them to match the lumineers). But i kind of feel a slight push in my upper lip and it s harder to close my mouth and an overbite only in the front two. Should i remove them and go for braces or wear an inside device that pulls back only the front two or maybe put lumineers on my lower teeth to match the upper?

Hello thank you for your question at hcm.

I need to know your age before giving you advice on braces.
Second you feel push in lip and improper overbite after having luminates in upper teeth.that clearly takes doubt arrow towards improper luminates.
And you don't need to go for luminates in lower teeth just to match them with upper. instead go for perfect luminates in upper teeth which match with lower teeth.
You can consult back for further querries.

Thank you.
