Why will veneers make my teeth look bulky?

Friday, July 15th, 2011
Q.

Hello, I want to have veneers on my two top front teeth as I dislike the shape and colour of them (I currently have composite fillings which are unsightly looking).

Two dentists however have told me that veneers would look bulky on my teeth. I don’t understand – why would they look bulky if a veneer is the same thickness as the amount of tooth removed?

My teeth are in line, but I do have a 6mm overbite (which does not bother me). Would this be why they might look bulky?

Can you use veneers to correct an overbite problem?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor can you use veneers to correct a problem overbite – I have been advised to have 6 upper veneers and 8 lower venners and to have all the work completed at once ( in a series of visits) as the dentist would be correcting a very problematic overbite and grinding problem. Surely, with this kind of problem would veneers on the front lower teeth be advisable in the first place? and what options do I have for improving the appearance of the lower teeth and to stop the wear ffrom the grinding?Many thanks for your time

What can I do to correct my weird rounded jaw and overbite?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Q.

Hi. I’m 18 years old. My jawline has always been a little weird, it’s a lot wider than any other girls I’ve seen. The corners of my bottom jaw are rounded, if i feel the corners of my jaw, its like the bone is deformed. I have an overbite, and I’m embarassed of the way my face is. I also have really bad dark circles. I’ve sucked my fingers all my life, even when I was in my mom’s stomach. Is this why my jaw is the way it is? and can braces help?

I have a bad overbite and am 39-years-old – is it too late to do anything?

Monday, March 14th, 2011
Q.

hi, I would really like to have great teeth & smile but am not too sure if I have left it too late?!
I am a young 39 and have a bad overbite (1 1/2 cm) also between every tooth there is a gap. I’m considered to be quite attractive and when I have wanted to ‘fix’ my teeth previously family & friends have always said not to as it will change my facial appearance & not in a good way …I’m guessing because of the overbite when my mouth is closed my lips pout. Can you tell me if indeed it would be possible to remedy and still ‘look’ like ‘me’ also would it be massively expensive? Thank-you
