I have never had braces or veneers

Q.

Hello, I have never had braces, had veneer fillings to close gaps to give an illusion of a straighter smile, i am now interested in gum reshaping and fixing my over bite, without braces my top teeth are nearly 1 cm infront of my bottom, would the Lingual Braces be able to fix an over bite? what can u suggest? thankyou

A.

Individual cases do differ, and opinions between orthodontists differ. One thing agreed is that lingual braces are technically demanding. I would recommend a couple of opinions from specialist orthodontists in your area. ( www.gdc-uk.org go to general public then “find a specialist” section)
