I Have Two Chipped Teeth That Are Just Barely Chipped. What Can I Do?

Im going to be 16 in a few Weeks and cosmetically, the chipped teeth bother me. They don't hurt and aren't a concern to my health but the top right front tooth is chipped bottom left, and one of the four front bottom teeth is chipped and I hate how the looked, chipped in the corners. I still have braces is there anything I can ask my dentist/ortho to do? After I get my braces off ive also been on whitening with whitening strips but if I get the chips bonded will they not whiten like normal teeth..? Help!
