What altenatives are there to braces as I have short roots?

Q. Hello there, i am an 18 year old male and am concerned about the appearance of my teeth; they protrude by about 4mm. Ihave been advised against getting braces due to my short roots, so i was wondering if there was anything else you could do about it, such as crowns or veneers? any help would be appreciated- thanks,
A. Hi Very difficult to answer without a clinical and radiographic examination. I am sure something can be done though. Personally i would not recommend veneers to correct an overjet at your young age.
