I was always told I would likely need jaw surgery however when I turned 18 every specialist I saw told me to avoid surgery as my bite was boarder line and not worth the risks etc... this is something that really bothers me. you can see from the photos when I smile my bottom teeth are over lapping my top. Please somebody help with regards to what I can do to correct this? I'm absolutely desperate now. I don't want jaw surgery and I've already had braces on the top, would veneers be an option?

Yes, veneers could be used to make your smile look wider but why not just make your smile wider? This can be easily accomplished with upper arch development. If you permanently develop your upper dental arch then you will permanently enjoy the benefits of a wider dental arch. Those benefits...
It is totally up to you. The lighter shade you use, the more veneers you have to do. Generally I like to bleach the patient teeth and do a natural color which is B1, specially if you are not doing your lower teeth.
No, this will not suppose to happen but if you are feeling shaking in your tooth there must be something wrong in your bite. I would suggest you to consult with your doctor regarding the same.
