Invisalign or Veneers?

[Lorraine]

I have crowded upper front teeth and would like to have straight teeth. I have looked into Invisalign and dental Veneers and cant decide on which one is best for me. Can you please advise.

Dear Lorrain

Aligning your teeth is nearly always better than having veneers. It obviously depends on how quick you need your teeth aligned, as Orthodontic treatment will take longer to complete.

If you have mild crowding and your teeth are discoloured ( due to fillings or certain irreversible discolouration ) and the shape of your teeth also needs correction, you may benefit from veneers or Lumineers rather than Invisalign.
