ok, so i posted a question about a week ago concerning an issue with bonding. i said my dentist wanted to pull out my left "eye tooth" but i fount out he wants to remove my left lateral incisor. after he removes it he will fill the gap with bonding and cover the rest of my upper teeth with a thin layer of bonding to make them nice and white. does it make a difference that he wants to remove a lateral incisor or no? like i asked before, should i do it or no? my teeth are a BIG deal to me and i dont want to mess them up for the rest of my life. im only 16 years old and i want nice teeth throughout my life. suggestions?

the incisor is malpositioned, tucked behind my left medial incisor and when i smile or talk it looks like i am missing a tooth. i have perfect teeth otherwise and this rly rly bothers me. im not sure about the type of bonding i just know that he puts it on, uses a little blue light and it turns hard. sorry i cant tell you more about the bonding. i am a junior and i dont want braces for my senior pics. either i get this done or i have to wait till college to have any procedure done.

What is the reason for the extraction of the lateral incisor? Is it malformed or malpositioned? To remove a lateral on a 16 year old sounds a bit aggressive. What kind of bonding are you talking about? Could you post a photo of your teeth? I am not doubting your dentist treatment plan, but to give you better advice I would need much more info. I agree with you thoroughly checking out all options prior to making a commitment this big at your age. I will keep looking for more info from you.

It's the rest of your life that is most important, right. Then bite the bullet and consult with and Orthodontist; he is the most qualified to advise which tooth, if any, should be removed for best results. I bet he will tell you both 1st bicuspids should go and he will use that space to straighten the others. A photographer can take your senior picture from different poses mouth open, mouth shut or even touch up the photo. The sooner you start the better. Twelve would have been better; but it is not too late.

look solid good right into a public wellbeing service. You artwork in an underserved self-discipline for a pair of years after graduation as a payback. the military is often a suitable decision. a pal of mine did that. He gained stationed in Kuwait for a twelve months regardless of the actuality that now no longer Iraq. Dental faculties have extra candidates than seats to fill so of course the great debt would desire to no longer be a element. you does no longer want to savor the cost at the same time as i used to be in college. I graduated in 1983. sturdy achievement!!!

I'VE SEEN YOUR QUESTION BEFORE. CONSIDERING ALL, I'D WAIT TILL COLLEGE TO HAVE BRACES.
DON'T GET ANYTHING PULLED JUST YET, AND CONSULT AN ORTHODONTIST ONCE YOU'RE READY FOR TREATMENT.
TEETH ARE NOT LIKE HAIR. THEY DON'T GROW BACK ONCE PULLED.

If you haven't yet, get a second opinion from an orthodontist.
