Are veneers or braces better for crooked teeth?

Q. Hi there The 2 teeth next to my front teeth are crooked (they protrude forwards) Would i be better to go for a brace or have a veneer? I’ve heard that braces work but the results are not permanent..so this puts me off. Are veneers more permanent?

A. If the teeth push forward veneers won’t be that easy to place as you will need the tooth trimming back. A brace would be permanent if a bonded retainer is fitted at the end of treatment so maybe try this option with your dentist.
