Hi

I would advise a consultation with a cosmetic dentist to assess the teeth and give you all your suitable options….

However if you are happy with the veneers and the teeth are healthy, they can be left in place.
If the teeth have moved (even with veneers on) they can be moved with Invisalign (this is one of the benefits of Invisalign)
I would recommend a hygienist visit for the stain removal and ask if they offer air flow which helps with this.
Finally I would consider some whitening for your natural teeth to bring their colour up (note the veneers or any fillings will not change colour)

Good luck
