Can anything be done to correct overbite and crossbites when I have veneers? (photos)

It looks like you do have an open-bite, in which can cause trauma to your back teeth, and wear them down. a complete evaluation with bite analysis is highly recommended to give you options such as restorations, or ortho treatment, or possible surgical intervention.

The short answer is "yes".  However, specifically WHAT to do depends on what is learned from a complete exam and complete records (xrays, photos, study models, etc).  While porcelain restorations CAN do what you wanted from the start, it usually requires ALL teeth treated and not just 10 veneers.  Step #1 included a diagnostic waxup.  From that, you could have seen the plan and if the plan would satisfy you.  If not, then alternatives would be explored (braces, surgery, etc).  At this point, I think you are starting over.

The type of malocclusion (bad bite) that you exhibit can absolutely NOT be corrected with porcelain veneers.  My recommendation to you is to first see a highly recommended orthodontist for a consultation, and then have him recommend an oral surgeon that he works with.  To properly correct your severe anterior overbite type of malocclusion; both jaw surgery and orthodontic treatment (braces) will be necessary.  There may be enough of a correction with just conventional orthodontic treatment but this will be discussed after proper consultations as mentioned above.
