I have an anterior open bite which I doubt I'll ever fix so I want my teeth to look better cosmetically. Cosmetic braces cost the same as veneers yet they wont look how I want them too. When I smile naturally you can't see my bottom teeth so the bite doesn't matter. My teeth cause me continuous anxiety and low self esteem. It would change my life to have them look like veneers. Is it a good idea or what do you suggest? I'm a working class adult so financially veneers every 10 years seems scary.

Answer: Veneers Thank you for posting your question! I understand your cosmetic concern but your function dental health is just as important. Correcting the Anterior Open bite will bring greater stability during normal chewing function and help you keep your teeth long term. When teeth are in alignment with each other it is easier to correct the cosmetic concerns. It is best to get the teeth in a better position before you consider getting veneers. It will be an investment in your long term dental health.

Answer: Veneers vs braces From your photos and considering your young age, I would definitely recommend you to consider orthodontic treatment, not veneers or crowns. These days, metal braces are about obsolete, you can have tooth-colored braces, even the wires are white! I believe you will be very happy with the result and will have your natural teeth which have the potential to last you the rest of your life. Please seek consult with a good orthodontist. Good luck.
