Is a Class III Bite a Good Case for Porcelain Veneers?

You would be far happier with the results of orthodontics (conventional braces/Invisalign) over porcelain veneers. Orthodontics would be a correction to your problem, veneers would be a band aid. Orthodontic treatment would take longer but would be less expensive. Good luck!

Consider Braces for a Permanent Smile Solution

Please find a dentist who will talk with you about your smile-Orthodontics will make a permanent change that won't need as much future care.

Orthodontics would be the way to go if that is an accurate representation of your normal bite.
