Correcting a slight underbite with veneers? (Photo)

Question

I have had upper and lower jaw surgery & braces costing over $11,000. However my teeth shifted a little and I can not afford jaw surgery again. Can I fix this with veneers?

Hello there,Based on your photo, you appear to be an excellent candidate for veneers.  An experienced cosmetic dentist can easily correct a minor underbite using porcelain veneers. Generally speaking, if the underbite is minimal then it can be closed.  If the underbite is major, then it can be reduced.  The best thing to do is to get a veneer consult at an excellent cosmetic dental office. The best indicator to determine if the dentist is going to give you the results that he/she claims, is by viewing before and after photos of his/her patients that have undergone similar or the same procedures. Good luck and I hope this info helps you. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO Area (O'Fallon, IL)RealSelf100

depending on a smile analysis , you can have a great layout with veneers or crowns.there is always a good solution, and you will love your smile, the only thing to consider here, is the underbite , provably a veneer will not give the strength you will need due to the lower maxilla, but there are always solutions.
