Can you have braces over veneers?
I had to get three veneers; two on my two central incisors and one on my left lateral incisor. I had to get a dental implant and crown on my right lateral incisor. The problem I have now is that my right central incisor (the one next to the implant) is slightly "crooked". It may be 'cause I was missing a tooth for 7+ months (6 months healing time of implant and waiting for crown, etc.) and so the central incisor just kind of shifted. I also had ortho treatment a few years prior to this and I guess maybe that could be a factor too.
So now, I want to fix this. Could I get braces (faster) or is Invisalign the better way?
Answer:
Invisalign is really the only option of the two you mentioned because the braces will damage and scratch the porcelain veneers and crowns, and the tension would probably rip the veneer off your tooth while it torques your tooth, and that would be like flushing all your hard earned money down the toliet, as well as all the time you spent having the work done.
