I had braces when I was in college but after I took it off, my teeth became more uneven and I had teeth gaps because I did not wear my retainers on. I did not want to wear braces anymore so I opt for dental bonding. However, two years after I had dental bonding, my teeth are now chipping and cracking. Is it possible to have the bonding removed then get braces again? Thanks for your help!

Porcelain veneers would be more color stable over time and provide a more predictable way to cover bad stains on your front teeth. They would also be more resistant to stains from smoking.
Usually no issue, but if your bite "feels"off it would be advisable to see a dentist that has a tech scan computer bite system. It is really a very amazing, cool tool that tells the dentist the bite force on each tooth. Hope this helps. Marty Gorman, DDS
Thanks for your question--to answer it further, having a gap between two front teeth is not necessarily a form of periodontal gum disease. Assuming gums/tissues are health, it could be a result of genetics, or even a result of the jaw/tooth size respectively. Of course, making sure...
