Can You Get Dental Bonding with Braces?

Those who want to straighten their teeth with braces may also be considering making their smile glow with composite bonding. The question often asked is: Can I receive both treatments at once, or do I have to wait?

Yes, sometimes it can be done; it depends on your teeth and your treatment plan. Of course, at Pristine Dental and Orthodontics, both cosmetic and orthodontic factors are taken into account to ensure everything works as well as it can.

Can You Get Dental Bonding with Braces?

What is Composite Bonding?

One of the trending cosmetic treatments is called ‘composite bonding’ the procedure uses a tooth-colored resin to improve the appearance of teeth and is very quick. It can fill up small holes, fill in small gaps, and even out rough edges.

The material is precisely formed on the tooth and hardened using a special light. When polished, it is just like your own tooth. Easy, simple, and frequently one-visit treatment.

Is it possible to have dental bonding on braces?

Well, not always. Dental braces move teeth; anything placed on the outside of the teeth must be carefully designed. Dental bonding can sometimes be unaffected even with treatment, and will be okay. It may take time, be a process of adaptation for some, or not be possible at all until after dental braces treatment.

It really depends on the location of the dental bond and the extent of tooth movement.

Can dental bonding interfere with braces?

It can, especially if the bond is large or is applied to teeth that have to move a great deal. It could cause brackets to not adhere to your teeth or for your teeth to move unevenly.
But, this is not a problem for minor bonding work. In a few instances, Dentists even bond a tooth to increase the comfort during dental braces treatment.

Your orthodontist will need to examine it first, as it's essential to take a careful look before the procedure.

How long does the Dental Bonding last?

Composite dental bonding generally lasts for five to 10 years. It relies on the care you take of your teeth and on the bad habits, such as grinding and biting hard food.

Regular scaling and cleaning can help to maintain its freshness and extend its lifespan.

FAQs

1. Is it possible to obtain dental bonding while wearing braces?

Yes, however, this can only be done if your orthodontist is confident that it will not cause any problem with tooth movement.

2. Is bonding better after braces?

Generally, yes, to get more predictable, cleaner results.

3. Could dental bonding damage my braces?

No, but it might need some adjustment, depending on the placement.

4. Is bonding an alternative to braces?

It can be, but only for really minor cosmetic problems. It cannot straighten teeth as braces can. Composite bonding works well when carefully planned. Braces fix your teeth's alignment. Then bonding makes your smile look better. To get the results and a plan that suits you, visit Pristine Dental and Orthodontics. They plan your smile, with both how it works and how it looks.
