Tooth Wear, Discoloration, Shape Problems, and Alignment Problems- Orthodontic treatment prior to veneering teeth?

Minor tooth movement plays an important role in various cosmetic cases.  Todays options include “Smart Moves,” “Invisalign,” “6 Month Braces,” and “Conventional Orthodontics.”  It is very important at times to properly position teeth before performing restorative treatment such as porcelain veneers.  Veneers include two types: prep veneers and no-prep veneers.  Each are used to treat patients with tooth discoloration, tooth shape problems, and tooth alignment problems. The decision on whether or not to reduce tooth structure comes after a thorough smile evaluation, diagnostic waxup, and trial try-on temporary veneers are placed. This way nothing permanently is done until the patient and dentist agree upon whether to include minor orthodonics in the treatment. Other options include cosmetic bonding and contouring.  GC
