I wanted veneers but dentist recommended invisalign

Q.
I visited my dentist to find out more about the veneers treatment. My teeth are small and just look horrible. Instead of veneers my dentist recommended to me invisalign and he said the results will be jsut as good as if I was to get veneers, but that I would retain my teeth which he said is always advised. Is this treatment relatively successful and what aboutin the long run? Will the results be maintained?

I have my next appointment next week and your advice would be really apreciated.
