My daughter starting the ortho treatment will moving the teeth causes the bonding to crack
Q. My daughter is 13 years old 4years ago she fell roller skating and had a type 3 fracture on her top front teeth. They have both had a root canal and have been bonded, We are starting ortho treatment to a severe overbite and protruding front teeth. And crowding My question is will moving the teeth in treatment cause the bonding to crack or cause root resorption? The ortho Dr has been doing this for 27 years he knows its a special case and even is taken precautions by putting brackets on the front tooth for more stregnth. We have been through so much and do not need anymore to worry about. She starts headgear next week I am just afraid those 2 front teeth will crack or fall out Any advise?
A. It sounds like the orthodontist has a lot of experience and should be able to keep an eye on the teeth as the treatment progresses, it sounds like the orthodontic traetment is necessary not just for cosmetic reasons and will help reduce the likelyhood of trauma to the front teeth in the future.

My 13 year old daughter has a gap in between her two front
teeth. The dentist told her that she will need braces to first straighten them out and then he suggested bonding to fill the gap between those 2 teeth. Is she too young for bonding, and does the procedure require painful drilling and anesthesia.
My friend had her teeth bonded and she said her dentist had to drill holes into other surrounding teeth. Not sure of the procedure.
Please advise.
