I know they are a pasty type of glue they put on top of your banded molars but what do they do and what do they feel like. Any Pictures and/or info is appreciated.

I had build ups placed on the same day as I was braced to stop my top teeth hitting my bottom brackets. They felt a bit weird at first, but I got used to them very quickly. They blend into your teeth- just looks like your teeth are bigger. It was a bit more difficult to chew with them, but really was no big deal. I had them for 14 weeks, and had them removed last week- progress!
