Is it safe to use veneers to solve my bite problems?

Q. Dear Dr. Moore, I am planning to have the veneers fitted mainly to improve to the wrong bite of my teeth. Is it safe to do or will the veneers keep braking and rapires be even more costly? My previous dentist has always advised me not to use the veneers. I am keen as I realise it will also improve my smile. Should I go ahead and have them fitted? I am 54 years old and keep dreaming of an improved bite and a smile. My bottom teeth are now begining to slide over the top teeth. I would appreciate your comments. Kind regards,
A. You will need to be careful and the veneers need to be very strong. Perhaps your dentist could make you a bite guard to help reduce the wear on the teeth/veneers that often occurs at night
