Should I Fix My Overbite Before Getting Veneers and Implants?

March 25, 2012
Asked By:Kannapolis in Kannapolis

I've seen 4 orthodontists, 1 agreed to treat me, the others said to see a cosmetic dentist. I want my overbite corrected BEFORE I have a partial bridge on bottom teeth replaced with an implant, & BEFORE I have the veneers on either side of my 2 front teeth replaced. They're 22 yrs. old & are there to close the space left after gap between front teeth was closed. After braces I want to have my teeth whitened, veneers redone, & implant instead of bridge. Isn't it smart to fix the bite first?
