Can I Have Venner on Upper and Lower Teeth with a Very Deep Bite? (photo)

Question

So confuse and depress. It's been a year that I'm looking for a right solution to fix my teeth but finally narrow it down to two option. I have very deep bite and very small teeth, first option is fixing my deep bite with braces for two years (I'm 28) and gum surgery and put the veneers and my SECOND option is going for gum surgery and fixing my deep bite by putting veneers on my lower, back teeth. Do you think I can fix my deep bite and open my lower and upper arch by wearing braces?

Braces all the way- go with your first option. Get your deep bite corrected and arches widened prior to any cosmetic treatment. Good Luck!

I see that your are already missing two teeth on the lower arch, were they pulled or were you congenitally missing them?  You definitely show signs of total bite collapse and the treatment of choice is to do orthodontics to correct your bite before you have veneers to correct the chipped teeth.  A deep bite like you have can lead to a whole host of problems, jaw joint pain and dysfunction, excessive wear of your front teeth, poor esthetics, etc.  If you do have porcelain veneers they will serve your best, and last many times longer, if your bite is corrected first with braces.

Michael Firouzian, DDS · Answer

Based on your photos, I wholeheartedly recommend braces.  Your arches are very narrow and they need to be widened.  Only braces can help with that.  Braces can also help correct your deep bite but your arches need to be widened first.  Once the arches are widened, you can then have some cosmetic dentistry done if you still want to.  I would suggest finding a dentist in your area who's trained in neuromuscular dentistry and orthodontics that can give your further details.  Good luck!
