Can We Move My Daughter’s Teeth Forward To Decrease Her Overriding Bottom Lip?

Tuesday, August 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi,  my daughter is currently wearing braces and her bottom lip is overriding on to her top lip. She has braces on both her top and bottom sets of teeth. Her bottom jaw is bigger than her maxilla (this was caused by an accident when she fell onto her teeth on a step when she was two years old). Can we do something to make this less prominent by moving the teeth forward a bit? She has been wearing braces for 18 months now … 

Looking forward to your answer, 
Thanks.

Would Veneers Reduce The Appearance Of My Overbite?

Wednesday, June 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi there, I wondered if you could help me? I have a mild overjet ( I think about 3mm) and an overbite ( only a few mm of my lower teeth show when I bite down.) I think my overbite is partly down to my front teeth being relatively long.
I do believe that I have nice teeth otherwise. They are quite straight etc and I do take good care of them.

I would like to know if I could improve this with veneers/ crowns/ overlaying veneers over my teeth. I know it wouldn’t correct it completely. I would also like to widen my smile, which I know can be helped with veneers or is there anything else you can suggest that I can maybe have a little look into? Thank you for your advice in advance.

Will ClearPath aligners reduce my overbite?

Monday, September 10th, 2012
Q.

Dear Doctor,
Need some advice on ClearPath aligners.
I have an 8mm overjet and the upper front teeths and slightly angled out and gaps between upper four front teeths. If the teeths are pulled back to close the gaps, I think the overjet can be reduced to 5-4mm and and this can close the gaps.Do you think ClearPath aligners can be useful for me.? Do clearpath aligners are used for this kind of malocclusions…? I am 27 years old now.
