What can I do to correct my overjet? Previously had both braces and Invisaligh (photos)

Question

I've had braces and Invisalign. My jet bite is still pretty bad. Have been told from a surgeon I wouldn't be a candidate for double jaw surgery.

Hello, my name is Dr Tyler Hales. I am a cosmetic dentist located in South Orange County California and Beverly Hills. I honestly don't mind your overjet too much. You actually want the teeth to overjet a bit to reflect light better. Your bite looks likes it is in a good spot. You don't want the teeth to be edge to edge when you bite down. The top teeth should stick out a little more than the bottom. It is always hard to tell in just a picture. Do you think it is more the shape that you don't like?

Full mouth prosthetic rehabilitation with Emax or zirconia crowns may give us the desired result. So that, we can increase overjet, overbite by this way

As an expert in cosmetic dentistry, I advise you to carefully consider both orthodontic treatments and smile makeover procedures, as each option has its advantages and disadvantages.

If you choose to undergo orthodontics, you can expect your bite to be corrected in approximately a year. While braces can lead to a more functional and healthier bite, they do not address issues related to the appearance of your teeth, such as size, shape, or color.

On the other hand, a smile makeover can provide a complete transformation of your smile in just a few days. This procedure involves a combination of techniques, such as dental veneers and crowns, to address aesthetic concerns and create a beautiful and confident smile.

While a smile makeover may be more costly than orthodontics, it can offer a significant improvement in your quality of life by boosting your self-confidence and allowing you to feel more comfortable and happy with your appearance.

Ultimately, the choice between orthodontics and a smile makeover will depend on your individual needs and goals. If you are primarily concerned with correcting your bite and improving dental function, braces may be the best choice for you. However, if you are looking for a complete transformation of your smile and want to address aesthetic concerns, a smile makeover may be the ideal solution. I recommend consulting with a dental professional who has performed many cosmetic dental treatments and is an expert in their field. This will help ensure a great result that meets your expectations.
