The son doesn't have twos, he is 15 years old and we will be wearing braces soon. We want to make room for two, but I don't know what is better for such a young person, veneers or implants. His teeth are all he althy, I would not want to destroy them with grinding.

You have to wait with the implant surgery until the end of development (18-20 years). You can wear masking during orthodontic treatment and no gaps will be visible. After the treatment, the son will have retentions in place, and masking can also be attached to them and wait for the time when the implants can be inserted. Veneers are placed on one's own teeth, and in this case there are no two of their own.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
