Teeth bonding for gaps and retainer wear

May 21, 2021
Asked By:okayjenny in Michigan

I've had my braces taken off over two years ago with cemented/bonded retainers on my top set of teeth and also reg retainer. Although straight, I noticed there is a gap on the front side of the tooth between tooth 9 and 10) and the middle section isn't "perfect". One of the tooth is a bit more square than the other. I've decided to get my teeth bonded to close the side gap and to shape the front teeth better. Would I need a new set of retainer after?

Shannon Hobbs, DDS - Account Suspended says:

Often times, dentists will select a shade of dental bonding that will match the natural color of your teeth so that it will blend into your smile nicely. If you find your teeth are already yellow to begin with, I'd suggest you opt for a whitening treatment prior to bonding to achieve the look...
