Should I get porcelain veneers to correct my open bite? Are there any alternatives to braces that you would suggest? (Photo)

Your narrow maxilla can be expanded with a DNA Appliance to make more room for your tongue which will help plus improve the look.  You should combine that treatment with seeing a Oral Myofunctional Therapist to correct functional pathologies.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOChair, American Alliance of TMD OrganizationsThinkBetterLife.com

This really depends on what will work best for you.  If you are the type of person that wants instant results and are willing to compromise tooth structure, rather than wear braces again, only to let your teeth shift back several years later because you can't wear your life-long retainer, then maybe veneers will suit you.  Conversely, if you are someone that is wants the slower steady route and maintaining all of your tooth structure, then braces and a life-long retainer may be best for you.       I've attached a link to a before and after photo of a patient of mine, that wanted the instant fix of veneers, over the slow steady fix of braces.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

My recommendation would be Invisalign or ortho first to correct your malocclusion. See an orthodontist or talk to your dentist about correcting this first with clear aligners like Invisalign. They are completely different than conventional braces with brackets and wires. A lot more comfortable and easier to keep clean. Then once you are finished, your dentist can evaluate your smile after your teeth are in the proper position for veneers if you are still unhappy with the overall aesthetics. This is a very common treatment sequence--first ortho and then veneers. Good luck!
