I haven't been here in a long time. I would like to know if anyone has do bonding in front teeth after braces. My braces are coming off this coming Friday and I would like to do bonding to align my front teeth, but I have a lot of doubts. I don't know a good dentist that can do it, I am afraid to damage my teeth just to make them look pretty, etc. If anyone has do bonding and could share experiences.

here is photo of my teeth. At least I would like the first 4 to look even. Please share experiences and opinions.

I have bonding already, while in braces, and I hope to get veneers put on the two bonded teeth before I get my retainers. I had peg incisors and they literally doubled the size of my teeth in front - but they told me the bonding wouldn't last forever and wouldn't be as strong.

All I know about bonding is that if you have it done, it doesn't whiten with the teeth and if it is done on a biting edge... it can break...

What does your ortho say?

That is the problem .During braces i asked a technician about sanding my front teeth and she told that it will be better idea to do bonding because it was a lot to sand, but anything i decide he (referring to the ortho or at least that i understood) will fix it. Wednesday they told me I was ready to take them out as soon as Friday so I mentioned about bonding and he said they don't do that there. I was in shock.
