I have had a problem for so long with the appearance of my teeth, so much so it has affected my life since I was aware I had bad teeth. Back in high school I couldn't take it any longer, and instead of getting braces (I didn't have the money, or wanting to wait that long to get results) I got 2 Veneers for my 2 front teeth that had a gap.
I still have crowding on my lower and a "fang" on my upper row that's a bit turned to the side which I want to correct, along with an overbite. I have looked into invisalign and am wondering if it would be able to work with my upper teeth that have the 2 veneers in the front... Would this destroy them? Would this make their life span less? and would they even be able to use invisalign at all? I would be very interested in knowing what my options are...
