Would I be able to correct my teeth with veneers only? (Photo)

Question

I have been recommended brace treatment but that it going to take time- would veneers treat my overbite?

Anthony Mobasser, DDS, DMD · Answer

porcelain veneers are not for everyone. I do not recommend veneers for your smile at this time. It is wise to seek orthodontist consult, and periodontal consult for asymmetrical gums prior to having veneers done.
An interim teeth movement, management of asymmetrical gums and then veneers can give you an awesome smile.

u have retroclined uppers, bucally placed laterals, deep bite, gummy smile. u can go only for veneers for aesthetic improvement. buy my advice and best option is veneers followed by aligner treatment / invisalign.

Thomas Dey, BDS, MSc · Answer

Thank you for your question. Generally based on where your front lateral teeth are, a veneer only solution can be possible as long as the bite is acceptable. 
Further pictures showing your bite are necessary, but please bear in mind, even minimal aligner treatment can prevent a significant amount of grinding of a tooth by a dentist which can help maintain the long term longevity of teeth.
Good luck with whichever option you decide upon.

Hi:You most likely can fix your teeth with veneers, however your bite is not very apparent in the photo you have posted. Please post more photos showing your upper and lower teeth in both front facing and profile.Best, Dr. Maddahi

Veneers will not correct your overbite. Veneers can make the outwardly appearance of your teeth more symmetrical but your teeth are out of position and your canines are crowded and not fully erupted. This causes your gums to be out of position and you will have a difficult time getting a correctly proportioned smile. Yes, veneers could improve your smile but you will not get the BEST result for your money.  I would recommend orthodontics and tooth whitening first, then, ceramic veneers etc after positions are improved if needed.

Gary Braunstein, DDS · Answer

You will be doing yourself a disservice  if you decide to have veneers prior to orthodontics for Invisalign.  Your gum height  is irregular and if you do not have your teeth aligned, your teeth will not appear symmetrical.  That would cause  some of your teeth to appear longer than others and would not give you an appealing smile.  You should have Invisalign  or orthodontics first and then you can have veneers placed  to give you a whiter,  more perfect healthy smile.  Doing veneers without orthodontics or invisalignn  will be will make it harder to clean your teeth and keep your gums healthy,  It would be a big mistake!
