Would the removal of my two upper canines improve my overbite?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010
Q.
I’m interested in having my upper two canine teeth removed, and replaced with a bridge or dentures. I’m 23 years old and I’ve had a severe overbite for years. The overbite is manageable by holding my jaw a bit foreword (a now natural habit). I’m not interested in correcting the overbite. However, I have one problem I’m set on fixing: Those top 2 canine. My canines have caused my front-upper gumline to push outward unnaturally, giving me the appearance of a monkey or the “Homer Simpson” look. The maxilla juts out and gives m y face very boxy appearance around the mouth. I’m suggesting that if my 2 upper canines were removed, and the bone of the pallete grinded/cut down under the gumline area, an oral surgeon could correct this “boxy” appearance of my mouth and lips.,
