CROOKED TEETH?
CROOKED?? the more crooked the teeth, the more tooth structure needs to be removed most often. The only way to answer what is most effective, is by communicating with the laboratory and seeing the teeth thru a diagnostic wax up and PHOTOS. a PICTURE tells a thousand words too.....

Crowns or Veneers
Veneers are the more conservative option, but they require adequate amounts of enamel to bond to. Your question cannot be answered without seeing photos and models of your "bite".

Crowns or Veneers?
One advantage of crowns or veneers is that they can be done in a way to take a crooked alignment and make it appear straight.
In general, the least involved treatment is the preferred solution. When you have crowded lower front teeth as you described, then a cosmetic dentist would make an impression, have their aesthetic lab make a wax simulation and then can tell you if the answer is crowns or porcelain veneers. More than likely the answer is a combination of both.
