How long after lower jaw surgery can I get porcelain veneers?

Question

I am having Orthognathic surgery in February (only working on my lower jaw, treating an overjet) how long after my surgery can I start the process for Porcelin veneers ?

Congratulations on going ahead with repositioning your jaw. I am sure you will appreciate the balance in your facial appearance. I would begin the process of doing a wax prototype for your upper veneer work after the oral surgeon and orthodontist agrees that the bite is stable. That way you ensure that chewing function is optimal to go with an appearance enhancement and things do not move unexpectedly. 
Veneers can be completed from start to finish in a month or less depending on your initial teeth arrangement as I do not have any photos to assess.Best regards,
Ed
