Bonding Vs. Lumineers After Braces

You seem to be on the right track.  Teeth look nice due to proportions of the teeth to each other.  If your lateral teeth are too small and your orthodontist has closed the spaces, then the esthetic result can be compromised.

It might be prudent to have a good cosmetic dentist look at your teeth before the braces are removed and have him coordinate the proper amount of space to be left for bonding or veneering the tooth.  The lateral incisors are really good teeth to bond from a longevity perspective as there is very little biting done on this tooth.

Hope this helps!

It's critical that the Cosmetic Dentist do a final evaluation before the Orthodontist removes the braces to be sure the tooth is in the best position. Dental Bonding is usually a more ideal and conservative approach for this situation. Due to the younger age of most of these type of patients, dental bonding allows the dentist to go back and add to the bonding as the shape of the gums change over time without having to start all over.
