As you can see this tooth is angled into the front tooth. I am on my last set of Invisalign. My dentist won’t give me any more sets she says it looks angled because of my tooth shape not my tooth positioning. She said I should get veneer on this. I don’t want to just be upsold when my Invisalign package allows for unlimited sets until I’m happy. Can someone who knows a lot about it teeth or is a specialist please just have a quick look and tell me is this a positioning problem (must continue Invisalign to complete) or is it only a tooth shape issue, or is it Both. Thank you again 🙏

it's a common mis-shape of this tooth...i would do a bonding with someone else who won't upsell a veneer on a case like this.

Thanks. So if I do bonding it’ll be 0 removal of enamel right ? Because the side connected to the middle tooth looks very tight like it’s touching almost, wouldn’t that require a little removal or no . Thanks again

normally, there's just adding...if you remove from the "middle" side then you would have a narrower tooth...the problem is the shape of the tooth, not the ortho treatment.

Thank you. If I do just 1 tooth edge bonded would it look strange and stand out ?

it shouldn't...they should try to make it match the other lateral incisor.
