What are the real risks?
In our clinic at 3 Goldhawk Road in London and talking with people who travel down to see us from Manchester the main risk is that the crooked tooth is still crooked underneath.
The side packing extra composite has to absorb awkward shear forces every time you chew a bagel. Enamel handles that fine; resin flexes slightly under pressure. If you bite down at an odd angle, the thicker composite side can crack off.
Plaque also gathers very easily along the recessed edge. You have to thread floss right down into that crevice every single night, or tea and red wine will leave a dirty brown line right along the bond. An electric brush helps, but an interdental stick does the real work.
