There are often several ways to solve an esthetic dental problem. In the case of either crowding, too much space or turned teeth both orthodontics and veneers are possible solutions. Below I have listed some of the reasons to choose veneers and then reasons to go with orthodontics.
Advantages of veneers:
1. It only takes a couple of weeks to have a finished result.
2. You can change your teeth to a brighter color.
3. You can change the shape of your teeth. (Longer or wider, for example.)
4. You can repair any chipping or cracking present.
Advantages of orthodontics:
1.You can improve your bite as well as straighten your teeth.
2. No drilling or alteration of your teeth.
It is often easier to use veneers over ortho for filling in spaces(Although veneers have their limits). It is often better to use ortho to solve crowding.
Sometimes the best result occurs when we do a combination of ortho and veneers.
