Can Invisalign work on teeth with veneers

[louie]

Hi

I have crowded middle jaw teeth and two veneers on my front teeth and I have decided to fix my crowded teeth with Invisalign. I thought about lingual braces but the price was so high, so I decided to try Invisalign to correct the position of my teeth.

I would like to know if Invisalign would work on teeth that have veneers on them? Could Invisalign move my front teeth if necessary or do I have to have metal braces.

Also if Invisalign works on veneers, would I need to change my veneers once the Invisalign treatment is finished? I suppose once I whiten my teeth during Invisalign treatment, the colour of the veneers will look wrong and probably I would need to replace my veneers after the Invisalign treatment is finished.

Hello Louie,

There is no contraindication to having invisalign with veneered teeth. Teeth with veneers can be moved with invisalign without a problem usually.

Invisalign is effective at moving front teeth but before we can tell you this for certain you need to have your teeth assessed. Invisalign assessments are free and we can offer you a convenient time.

Invisalign has many advantages over fixed braces but in some cases metal braces are more predictable than invisalign.

After invisalign treatment you may need to change your veneers to improve your smile further. If you whiten your teeth then in most cases its necessary to change veneers as they look yellower than your own teeth.
