Hello there,A skillful cosmetic dentist should be able to correct a very minor underbite with porcelain veneers. If the underbite is more moderate to severe, like yours, then jaw surgery or braces are the only remedy. I would recommend seeing an orthodontist to determine your options. Good luck and I hope this info helps you. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO Area (O'Fallon, IL)RealSelf100
Veneers are not the best option for you. Consider seeing an orthodontist for a consultation. You are an advanced, difficult case that will likely involve braces and potentially jaw surgery. Best of luck.
Porcelain veneers are tiny shells of dental porcelain which get bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. 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.
no, veneer is not recommended in yr case. there r chances of chipping off veneers due to unwanted forces on veneers because of underbite. so best option for u is braces / aligner treatment. later on for aesthetic enhancement u can go for veneers.
Yes, underbites can sometimes be corrected without surgery with full-mouth restoration using porcelain veneers and/or crowns. You will need a comprehensive evaluation and bite analysis by a highly skilled dentist or prosthodontist to determine if you are a good candidate for full-mouth restoration with veneers/crowns. Looking at your photos, I think this can be done. I recently treated a patient with a very similar issue and was able to correct her bite with full upper arch porcelain crowns along with vertical bite opening and esthetic anterior crown lengthening. Hope this helps. Good luck.
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.
Swimming is not prohibited. You may experience some sensitivity, if the water is really cold, but it shouldn't last very long. The temporary glue that's used to hold on the temporaries can also weaken with swimming. I would recommend possibly wearing a mouth guard to keep to make sure you do...
Thank you for posting your question! I would suggest getting the teeth straightened first to relieve the crowding and correcting the overbite. Then see if you need veneers. Invisalign may help you achieve this. They are clear aligners and can be removed as needed. Long term, it will be a he...
Yes, yr upper midline is shifted to left [approx - 4mm] . if u want to correct it , than u have to go for braces treatment. but its my advice to do not worry about that. as i can see from yr smile, yr central incisors r up-righted perfectly so its hardly noticeable. yr case is same as 'tom...
