My Orthodontist Wants Me to Put Bonding on my Second Upper Tooth?

Hello, I am now having braces and my orthodontist wants me to put bonding on my second upper tooth. She said that otherwise I am going to have an incorrect bite or gap between my teeth.. Actually I don't want bonding,I have read a lot of reviews and everybody says that it doesn't last too long and that most of the people change it every couple of months, because it falls down.. I really don't know what to do.. to put bonding or not.

In most cases you have a tooth size issue and its called peg shaped laterals you can leave the space or fill it in with bonding veneer or crown all will work depending on $ and your time and age I usually recommend veneer if you can. good luck Kevin Coughlin DMD, MBA, MAGD CEO Baystate Dental PC

The reason I don't want to put any bonding or veneers is that I just don't want to put any other materials on my teeth especially on the front ones.. I have a veneer on my second front tooth actually and I would be able to replace it with a bigger one after I take off the braces, but I just don't want to put any veneers on the rest of my teeth. She told me that in order to avoid any issues with the occlusion I need to put bonding, otherwise I will have gap between my teeth.. I really don't know why she doesn't want to use elastics for all of the front teeth in order to avoid the gap..

P.S. I am sorry, I wanted to say that I have a crown on my second front tooth, not a veneer.
