I’m not sure what to do about my inwards-facing two front teeth, what is best?

Q.
I have always had perfect teeth. Never needed braces. I’m 42 & last year, I began noticing my 2 front teeth starting to turn inward causing a shadow or “split” tooth look in pictures & somewhat of a “beaver” look where the outter sides slightly protrude.
All that bothers me is cosmetic appearance. The dentist said to bond, the oroth said trad. braces because Invisaline leaves gaps. Then there are veeners?!
IF I get the bonding can it be removed if my teeth continue to turn & eventually I have to get braces? The ortho sounded like MOST of my forward crowding was done?! Help!
A.
In these situations I would always opt for ortho. Invisalign would work well but the slight slimming of the teeth that is required to move your teeth into the correct position needs to be done gradually to prevent gaps I have done a large number of invisalign cases and have not had a problem with gaps between the teeth. If you would like a free assessment with me please contact my practice
