I understand that you are looking to veneer your top teeth, then straighten your bottom teeth.  I would simply recommend veneering all of your anterior (front) teeth on the top and bottom.  The last thing you want to do is straighten your teeth and still have an issue with the yellowing or relapse years after additional orthodontics.  Veneers are instant (1-2 appointments) and permanent (lasting 20-30 years) and stain resistant (much more than your natural teeth).  This could be expensive, but worth it, when you consider the improvement in your appearance and the way people perceive you.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

Yes, certainly you are in luck.  Porcelain veneers done by a good cosmetic dentist should be able to make your teeth straight and beautiful.  Cosmetic dentists do this all the time.  We often call this "instant orthodontics" because we seemingly correct the crooked teeth instantly (actually two office visits), rather than months or years as with braces.You might be interested in looking at the web link below to see several examples on how this is done.
