Invisalign or Veneers to Correct Gap? (photo)

Here are the steps I would follow to treat your case correctly and give you a nice, aesthetic result.  

1.  Due to your narrow upper and lower arches, I would get a consultation with an orthodontist and consider full orthodontic treatment.  The will broaden your smile and improve your bite significantly.  

2.  After the braces are removed I would have a cosmetic dentist perform some gingival recontouring to raise the level of the gums.  This will allow you to show more natural tooth structure when you smile.  

3.  If any porcelain veneers are still needed they could be done at this time.  This should only take two visits to finish your veneers.  

It is possible to do No Prep veneers or bonding to close the space.  You have a very narrow arch, a narrow smile and dark buccal corridors (empty space between cheeks and teeth)

 

The best cosmetic result would be 10 veneers.  Invisalign will improve the look but cannot widen the jaw fully.  Epigenetic Orthodontics would be my first choice of treatment to give yourself a full wide smile.

Each option will have pro's and con's. You seem to have nice teeth. I would stop, and take the time now to visit a respected Orthodontist to get their opinion about closing the space. Many dentists do Invisalign, but a great Orthodontist will give you the best results. In addition, there could be more than one approach and they can give you your best options. 

I would also spend time now with the best Cosmetic Dentist you can find. If the size of your teeth are too small, he can coordinate a plan with the Orthodontist so that you wind up with an amazing result. I have seen too many patients arrive for a "little bonding" or a "veneer" after having their teeth straightened, and the alignment wasn't right.

You need a solution that will give you great peace of mind, and to be excited about your final, beautiful smile. Don't do anything until you feel good about going forward.

Also-if you simply decide that Invisalign is not a right fit for you, then veneers can create a great result. Veneers are very long lasting and are fairly trouble-free for most people when they are done by an experienced Cosmetic Dentist.
