I am not sure as to what cosmetic procedure I should undertake

Q. I was wondering if i could get some advice. I have two front teeth which have crowns and my jaw is very narrow. My bite is around 10mm compared to the average. Although my teeth are fairly straight I lose confidence when I smile as my front teeth are very apparant. I have been to my dentist and looked at othodontic treatment but am not keen on having a brace (I am 33 years old)and do not really have the time to do so as I may be working abroad in the future. I have also had a impression and new teeth placed onto the result to see what I would look like, however there is not much difference. I am really eager to have cosmetic work done but not sure what I can do. Please help as its getting me quite down. Many Thanks,

A. You might investigate a short orthodontic pretreatment  with Clearstep or Inman Alligners followed by Veneers. Should be possible within 6 months (average patient) to completion. If you have orthodontic pretreatment you must wear nighttime retainers for life to prevent relapse.

Do dental clinics in UK offer jaw correction surgery to correct an underbite and how much do they cost normally?
