Should I crown central incisors before braces?

Dentist said the crown will be too bulky which will interfere the ortho process and I should just put composite veneer on it. Maybe If I will go with partial 3/4 crown it will allow to make the crown thinner? Is 3/4 more like veneer is thickness or more like a full crown? Will it protect the same way? Is it safe to leave such destroyed tooth as it is?
