Would Veneers Reduce The Appearance Of My Overbite?

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.

Hi thank you for your question. Well, for the two specific problems you are describing the sheer amount of tooth tissue that would have to be drilled away to give you what you want is not advised

the only realistic and long term safe approach would be the orthodontic route. I hope this helps!
