Clearly have more problems than just that. I also have an underbite if thats not clear by the photos. However, i just want to be able to smile without being super embarrased by the main one tooth. And don't want to spend 2-3 years with braces or a ton of money. I just turned 23.

Answer: Misaligned Left Lateral Incisor If I understand your chief concern, you want to align your left lateral incisor with the adjacent teeth. It's hard to tell from the photos that you have an underbite, more photos would help. That said, if you simply want to align the teeth in each arch and not address the underbite, Invisalign may work for you. A single veneer would not be your best option. Particularly if it would be built in an underbite situation. Your top and bottom teeth could be aligned better, so Invisalign would help to accomplish that. If you want to try to correct the underbite, you should see an orthodontist to evaluate what all your options are.

Answer: Invisalign or Veneer? It's good that you understand that you have more dental problems than just the misaligned lateral incisor. A single veneer is not a good option to correct the misalignment and Invisalign can correct the misaligned lateral incisor but completely ignores more serious dental problems. Your underbite looks to be the result of a severely underdeveloped upper dental arch. Invisalign will NOT correct this problem. This problem is not only causing your chief concern (a misaligned lateral incisor) but is also causing a very narrow smile and potentially a sleep breathing disorder. Clearly, a sleep breathing disorder is more significant than a misaligned lateral incisor. I would highly recommend that you seek competent professional recommendations to fix your more important issues before spending resources to fix the misalignment of your lateral incisor. Good luck!
