As young as you are and hopefully with healthy teeth ,  I would not recommend veneers as your first and best option, but as a secondary adjunct to your treatment. 

You see you have to have a good occlusion (  bite relationship between your upper and lower jaw) in order to have longevity and endurance as well as aesthetic perfection with the veneers. Also , it will be a shame to grind a perfectly healthy tooth down for its position alone if you could place it in proper alignment with orthodontic treatment. 

So,  I would first evaluate your bite , and if you need braces, go with invisalign, and after completion of your orthodontic treatment veneer ONLY those teeth than need improvement in shape and shade.

Good luck

I am not certain why braces would be removed if you had good oral hygiene and regular cleaning. Do you have  any issues with bone disease or gun disease? because if you do regardless of gaps that  needs to be  addresses first and foremost before you do anything,


Second your gap is too large to close with veneers, You also seem  to be grinding your front upper and lower teeth and have other gaps . I believe some  bite issues  as well. Therefore, with the limited information, just by going off your photo ,I would recommend braces once again to get the teeth closer together and then revisit the option of veneers to completely close it , if your braces can not being the two middle teeth completely close together.                    

The mere fact that your tooth did not hurt before, does not mean it would have never started to hurt. By working on the tooth , the unavoidable root canal usually gets expedited .It does not mean that every one gets pain after a crown , but do  remember there was a reason why your tooth broke in the first place. May be an old silver filling , may be a large filling, may be  you clinch? 

Anyway, first make sure your bite is not off, and second go see an endodontist, (a specialist for nerves /for root canal) to evaluate our tooth. Also see if you clinch and whether you should get a bite guard.  

Just by looking at your teeth, I can tell you have a bite issue. Your Upper teeth seem to be tilting inwards and if I am correct when you close your teeth together, there is no Free way space between your upper and lower from teeth. meaning they are all retouching when you close you bite down .

If I am correct then you are not a candidate for a veneer. The ideal situation would be to temporarily bond the tooth that is broken, then do invisaligne to straighten out all your teeth and correct your bite, then whiten your teeth first and then veneer the broken one and try to match the shade to " after" whitening color of your teeth. .  Again That's the ideal .
The most conservative one is to bond it, and even if you want to crown it, do only one. Because even if you do two, the rest of the front teeth will have a contrast in shade, so one more tooth does not help that situation .

Good luck.
