I have an overbite, I would like straight teeth but

Q. I have an overbite, I would like straight teeth but my orthodontist said I would need an operation to correct my jaw to make his happen he explained that the whole process could take 3 years, im 22 now and really don’t want to go through 3 years of treatment, is there anywhere I could have cosmetic dentistry done to make my teeth straight?

A. Hi
 the need for surgical correction of over bites is dependent on the severity of the problem. It already appears that you’ve taken expert advice, maybe you should get a 2nd opinion if you’re not sure if you want to follow this line of treatment, however sometimes for severe overbites surgical correction is the only option.

Thanks

Andrew
