Braces Vs Dental Facelift Procedure

April 28, 2011
Asked By:zma in Los Angeles, CA

Im 41, have an over bite, grind my teeth and have the type of tmj that is muscular. I like the size and shape of my teeth but some of my teeth are crooked and the overbite is making me look a little older than my age. There is a dentist that offers a dental facelift that is teeth straightening without braces that fix over bite and tmj etc. I assume he uses crowns and veneers to fix and lengthen one's bite and jaw since it takes 2 weeks. Should I get braces or go with the 2 week guy?
