Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

I have a very bad overbite due to sucking my thumb. I am 35 and am getting it fixed. Some dentisits claim that they can fix it with veneers, but I am not sure about their honesty... I went to see an orthodontist and he claimed that I need braces and then perhaps jaw surgery. Can veneers fix a very bad overbite or is that a lie?
