Invisalign for patients who already have veneers

Susan Goode Estep, DMD answers: Invisalign with veneers for overbite and slight overjet?

Hi, I had braces 10 years ago. My teeth have slightly shifted and now I have a small overbite and slight overjet. I have veneers on my front two teeth. I would like to have Invisalign to fix my teeth.

Will this affect my veneers? I'd hate for them to pop off. Thank you.

You should be fine to use Invisalign if you already have veneers. If the veneers pope doff, it would be because there was something wrong with them that NEEDED to be fixed (blessing in disguise). And just FYI -- a healthy bite is one with a little overbite and overjet -- if your teeth were end to end (or edge to edge) there would be unhealthy forces on your teeth.
