Did repairing front teeth position narrow my face ?

Hi all,

When I was younger I had a wide gap in my front teeth. I had fractured both of these while horsing around, and my dentist took the opportunity to use veneers to close the gap that was originally there. Obviously this seemed like a bonus at the time because my teeth were now straight, but I'm wondering if that would have thrown off my whole dental development. I now have a V- shaped narrow palate, long face shape with a pointy chin.

Could this have caused my face changes the same way removing wisdom can?

It makes no sense to me why this would be the case.  Closing the gap with veneers to me implies that the crown was widened to fill the space.  I cannot see how increasing the horizontal tooth width would cause the type of growth pattern you describe.

As above I don't see the vineirs impacting your development  although there are many variables so I suppose it maybe possible in an individual case.
