Hi, I am looking to have treatment on my teeth to straighten them. I have been advised to take impressions of my teeth prior to receiving orthodontic treatment (clear aligners), using an impressions kit containing dental putty.

You might be able to try them on without anesthesia, but it depends on how sensitive your teeth are. If anesthesia is used the veneers can be cemented with temporary cement.
