I have had braces before but my doctor wasnt well experienced and left me with 0 results. I want to fix my overbite but during the last few years I have lost 2 teeth (#15 and #31). Can I still get braces and fix my overbite? Also can you get braces if you have veneers?

Do you have a post-op Lateral cephalogram x-ray? If yes, please share. I need Lat. ceph x-ray and extra-oral photos to guide you. Otherwise, it's difficult to answer your question.
Dear Manfred the asymmetry cannot be caused by the sleeping position. We think the reason for your asymmetry is unilateral chewing. Muscles are empowered, and it may cause this imbalance. Please eat bilaterally. If you have bruxism, please start to use a night guard.
Picture is inadequate but it appears you have a very narrow maxilla which is an orthopedic problem. I would suggest looking into Epigenetic Orthopedics to three dimensionally expand your maxilla to allow room for a full wide smile.
