Should I choose Invisalign or veneers for crooked teeth?

Invisalign moves teeth into a healthier position, whereas veneers change the visible shape of teeth to camouflage some irregularity. When tooth position is the main concern, alignment is generally considered before cosmetic restoration; veneers are not a substitute for orthodontic assessment.
