Can Porcelain Veneers be Used to Correct a Bad Bite

Porcelain Veneers are a way to enhance your smile with Cosmetic Dentistry.  You cannot correct overbites or underbites with porcelain veneers.  However, bite correction can be completed with porcelain restorations that can also change profiles, reverse aging facial appearances, correct overbites and underbites.
Non-surgical bite correction is possible on most cases.  This type of care is not general dentistry or conventional porcelain veneers and there are many factors to consider.  There is more to this than just looking at teeth.

Bite Correction Before & After

Porcelain Veeners Help Fix Bite Problems

What should be considered and evaluated with bite correction procedures:

1) TMJ: pain and dysfunction needs to be addressed

2) Profile of face

3) Airway

4) Cervical issues

5) Position of the teeth

6) Tongue posture and function

A 3D CBCT scan can provide much valuable information to help plan treatment so that long term stabilization is possible.

Class III or underbite corrections are possible without surgery and can be completed with conservative porcelain restorations.  This truly changes faces, profiles, and bites as well as can prevent further damage to the teeth.

Class II or overbites can also benefit from conservative bite correction using conservative porcelain restorations.  Many of these cases also have an overclosed bite and a small chin.  These cases not only change the bite, but the facial profiles as well.

Other cases have collapsed bites or sunken faces in which bite correction can be done non-surgically and create healthier bites and more beautiful faces.
