Q. I have an overbite and my teeth are crooked, I had an appointment with an orthodontist and was told that I needed surgery to be . I’m 16 and somewhat scared of the surgery, but my dad also refuses to have surgery done on me. My question is: Could I get veneers instead of surgery I need to have my teeth straightened?

A. The crowding must be very severe if surgery is required so I doubt that vebneers will be a solution. Maybe ask for a second opinion from another Orthodontist to see if its pssible to try something else.
