I'm 25 and have buck teeth in my upper front two teeth is there any way to fix them without braces or veneers can surgery help with this

Yes, there are several ways to fix "buck teeth" (overjet) without braces or veneers, though surgery may be necessary in some cases. Cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental bonding can help camouflage the issue. Alternatively, invisible aligners or clear aligners can be used to gradually shift the teeth into a more desirable position. A dentist or orthodontist can assess your specific case and recommend the most suitable treatment option

View allI'm 23 years old and I'm wondering if it's still possible for me to get braces for my teeth. If I can, how long would I need to wear them? Also, I'm curious about how much it might cost in Bangalore.
Yes you get braces no problem, usually it takes 1 year to correct your teeth alignment, visit your dentist for appropriate management

I have buck teeth or protruding upper teeth that make it hard to close my lips naturally, leading to mouth breathing, snoring, and bad breath. I don't want braces because they take too long and are painful. I've heard about smile treatment and jaw surgery can you give me an idea of the average cost for these options? I know prices vary by city and doctor, but a rough estimate would help me decide if I can afford it. I can only see doctors in Visakhapatnam or Hyderabad. Not self-treating, just trying to understand my options better. Attached a pic for reference though the clarity isn't great.
For correcting protruding teeth (also known as "buck teeth" or overbite), both "smile treatment" and jaw surgery are possible options, but they are not the same thing. Smile treatment typically refers to cosmetic dentistry, like veneers or orthodontics (braces), while jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) is a more invasive procedure to reshape the jaw itself. The cost for each will vary greatly based on the complexity of the case and the clinic. Braces, even clear aligners, are generally less expensive than jaw surgery.

Can my friend's jaw go back to normal with braces or does it need orthognathic surgery Also, why is the pulp in my upper molar round or circular is that abnormal And there's a translucent spot near the root of my upper lateral incisor could that be a cyst
Braces can fix mild jaw misalignment; severe cases may need orthognathic surgery—consult an orthodontist and oral surgeon.
