My two front teeth are chipped underneath my cosmetic bonding (ortho will remove before treatment). Wondering if he will file/shape before putting on braces or after treatment?

Do you guys think I can request he do it before?

If you can live with it leave it until the end. Your teeth will find new positions so might need filing again at the end anyway.
Brace Date: 14th April 2011
Estimated Debrace Date: 14th April 2013
Real Debrace Date 18th June 2013

4 extractions, upper ceramic brackets and lower metal to fix overjet and overcrowding.

I mentioned the chip on my front tooth and ortho said not to worry as they file and shape teeth after treatment anyway. They will even perfect the canines and give the whole mouth more symmetry. Ofcourse I'm thrilled! ;)
