I don't want to have surgery
Answer: Porcelain veneers have limits of what they can correct While porcelain veneers can do amazing things, correcting an underbite usually is not one of them. Even when they CAN, it is part of a full mouth reconstruction where the entire mouth and bite are restored, combining veneers with full crowns on the back teeth. Cases like in the photos are treated at minimum with orthodontics (braces) and likely surgically as well.

Veneers can be used to address a wide range of smile imperfections, before you make any decisions consult with a skill cosmetic dentist that specializes in TMJ and that have been awarded and done many cases. Seeing an orthodontist can also help give you some feedback and help you with your decision.
