Hey Andrew. Can I Use Veneers To Fix A Pretty Severe Cross-Bite? Or Would It Best To Move Forward With Braces And Surgery?

Monday, May 19th, 2014
Q.

Hey Andrew. I’m a 26 year old male and I have a pretty severe cross-bite. I really don’t want to get braces, orthodontic treatment or surgery to correct it. Is it possible to have veneers correct this problem? Or would it be best to move forward with braces and surgery?

I spoke with an orthodontist and he told me I would have to wear braces for 1 year, have corrective surgery and keep the braces for another year. I just want to know if that is my only option. Thanks so much for your help!

Is corrective surgery advisable for my large overbite?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I was advised by my orthodontist to take up corrective surgery as I have a large overbite (upper jaw). I am 28 years old and wanted to know if the corrective surgery is advisable. I have heard from some people that the jaws are connected by strings/wires after the surgery. I have also heard that the mouth cannot open as wide as it naturally used to. If the jaw is connected again using screws and plates, are there any issued during the cold winters (cold metal plates causing discomfort)? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to your reply.,
