I have a very bad case of overbite

Q. Hello doctor, I have a very bad case of “overbite” which has plagued me since i was little. I guess sleeping with mouth open and sucking my thumbs didnt help. This caused my upper incisor and canines to shoot out at an angle. Its affected my confidence for many years. I will like to know if this can be treated and how? Also how much would it cost? thanks

A. There are a few different methods for perfecting teeth. The first one being orthodonitcs and the second one being Veneers. I recommend you book in for a consultation with an orthodontist and a cosmetic dentist to explore all of the options avaiable to you. From there you can assess which would be the best road for you to take.

kind regards
