If you want to fix a wonky front smile, you are probably wondering which treatment will stick around the longest. People ask me all the time whether bonding or braces will hold up better over time.
Here is the honest truth about bonding lifespan.
Bonding is basically hardened dental putty. It looks brilliant and handles normal chewing, but it is not immortal. Over several years of drinking coffee and chewing crusty bread, the resin edges can chip or stain, requiring a quick polish.
Why braces win on longevity:
Braces don’t just cover up flaws; they physically drag crooked tooth roots into proper position. When treatment finishes and you sleep in your retainer, those straight teeth stay locked in place for life.
