I've literally had braces for 5 years (when I was 17-22yrs old). Now I am 32. I went for one consult for veneers the the dentist said I needed Invisalign (the full course which is $5000) before getting veneers done. Something about the consult felt like a cash grab.

Answer: Braces before veneers? Without a picture I can't be very specific about your question. In general it is nice if the teeth are more ideally positioned before getting veneers, however it isn't always a requirement. If your teeth are more ideally positioned your dentist may be more conservative about removing tooth structure. This translates into better bonding of the veneers and healthier teeth. Many patients have veneers done so that they don't have to go through orthodontics to get straighter teeth. If you are concerned about the treatment plan I would suggest a second opinion.

Answer: Yes if youre teeth are crooked If there's a big problem in your teeth probably the best way is doing orthodontics first and then the veneers so you will have a very complete case
