Bonding is a composite(plastic material) which is tooth colored.Bonding is usually is placed do to decay in the tooth or as a result of a fractured tooth.If your tooth is aching, there is a good possibility that the bonding has decay under it.The extent of the decay determines what needs to be done with the tooth.If the decay is shallow, it is possible to re-bond.If the decay is deep, there is a possibility that you may need a root canal.I would see a dentist to check the extent of decay, as soon as possible.
As with all things, there are many ways to fix a front tooth.Dentists around the nation charge differently depending on where you are located.The nation average for a filling is based on surfaces for all teeth. Consider that front teeth will be a little bit more of an investment then back teeth.Per picture, it appears as if this is a 3 surface filling with ranges from $125 to $225, once again this is based on your geographical area.A tooth colored filling, matching your original tooth will be placed with local anesthetic.The will change color over time and will require replacement.Very good question!!!
Based on the pictures provided, I would shy away from Smile Care Club.Smile Care Club is a fantastic way to treat smaller discrepancies do to orthodontic relapse.However, based on your pictures, there is a lot of spacing and a open bite (meaning, when you close naturally on your back molars, there is a space between the front teeth).I would consult your regular dentist or orthodontist for other more affordable treatment options.
If your orthodontist recommends this, I think this is the appropriate treatment. I think this is normal treatment and would not vary from his recommendation.Elastics are worn to put pressure on the teeth so that they will move up and or down on both upper and lower arches.Very good question!!!
