The edge packing extra composite has to absorb awkward shear forces every time you bite a bagel. Enamel handles that fine; resin flexes slightly under pressure. One awkward twist on a crusty roll can snap that resin tip clean off.<\/p>\r\n<p>Another common problem is colour mismatch over time. Natural front teeth gradually change shade with age, but resin stays the exact colour it was on the day it was cured. Bleach does not work on resin, so whitening your teeth down the line leaves the bonded edge looking darker.<\/p>\r\n<p>Plaque also settles easily along the join. 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.<\/p>\r\n<p>Beyond that, leave plastic tags alone. Don&#8217;t crack pistachios open with your front teeth.
