I don't want the porcelain veneers. Teeth are slightly misaligned. They say the only way to fix the overbite is braces. But I don't care to fix my overbite. & although this might sound crazy, i don't want braces. ALL I want is the shape of my teeth corrected.

I'm only doing my top set at the moment (not sure if that helps!)
