Can porcelain veneers correct an open bite?

I am a 27 year old female with an open bite and small gap in between the front two. I work in a very public position and dont feel comfortable at my age with orthodontia which is the most common recommendation or orthognatic surgery. I just want to get porcealin veneers or even the newer "Lumineers". But aside from cosmetic value can veneers be used as a treatment plan for open bites?

Can porcelain veneers correct an open bite?
It depends how severe is your open bite.





If you are patient, the best treatment to correct your open bite is orthodontics. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...





If you do go for veneers, put in mind that veneers have a life span, and they should be redone every 10 to 15 years. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...
Reply:Yes, but you have to be very careful that, in correcting the open bite, you do not make the teeth look too long.





If it would look too long, then you'd need some type of ortho.
Reply:i had a an open bite and i had veneers put in...first of all the difference is amazing, the bite is still slightly open, however, it is unnoticeable to the untrained eye....if u go this route, please be careful in not letting your dentist convince u to get long veneers!! I dont know why, but for some reason they want to completely close the bite by putting in long horse teeth..thank god i stopped him in time....


If u want braces, you can try the clear ones, again they dont really treat severe cases.
