Bonding with braces
Can you get bonding done with braces on? One of my laterals is slightly more worn than the other so I would like to get it fixed. I'm guessing I'll have to wait until after, but I thought I might as well throw it out there in case anyone else was wondering.

I have the same problem due to a snagletooth that jacked it in and then wore it down over the years. Mine is being fixed after the braces come off.
Re: Bonding with braces
Bracket material bonds better to real tooth enamel. I'd just wait until you were all done. But remind your ortho you are having it done so he can make sure the tooth will look aesthetically pleasing position AFTER the bonding. If he optimizes tooth position for your pre-bonded tooth, it may not look the same.
Re: Bonding with braces
My laterals were bonded while I had my braces on (wire removed). No issues.
I have two more teeth to be bonded, but we are waiting until my braces come off to do those.
