Barry Jason, DDS · Answer

At your age your facial features and gum line is still developing.   Wait until the braces are off and then re-evaluate.  I would not suggest Veneers until you were 18-20, but you might consider cosmetic bonding if it will help your appearance.  Proper determination would be based on your appearance following the ortho.

Vicki Borowski, DDS · Answer

Speaking as both a parent and a dentist, I would encourage you to wait a few years before getting veneers. At that point your dentist might be able to do a minimal prep type of veneer or a Lumineer. Your facial features and gumline are still maturing so I would encourage you to wait a few years and revisit this question when you are 18.

From what I can see you have a form of Tetracycline Staining. I would suggest that you try tooth whitening first. At 14 you still have growth to occur and your smile may change. Additionally with either veneers or whitening the pulp in your teeth is still relatively large and therefore any treatment may result in increased sensitivity.I would suggest speaking with a dentist first. Certainly when you are older, 18 or more, veneers would gbe a great choice.

Prepless veneers are a good option for you after orthodontics. Bonding would also work well. If you are a young teen, be aware you made need replacement about age 20 after your face is fully grown. Of course the other option is wait until age 20 to get treatment.
