Can You Get Composite Bonding On Crooked Teeth?
Do you have crooked teeth? Contact Yorkshire Dental Suite for a consultation. If composite bonding is not the right treatment we offer many alternatives, including braces and clear aligners.
Can you get composite bonding on crooked teeth? In some cases, yes. If your misalignment is mild to moderate, composite bonding may be used to disguise the crookedness. However, if more severe, this treatment can appear bulky on the teeth, and even exaggerate the appearance of your misalignment even more.
Composite bonding before and after crooked teeth
In some cases, composite bonding is a great solution for crooked smiles, painting over the teeth with a white dental resin. It is often the favoured choice of treatment as it delivers results in less than four hours, compared to lengthy orthodontics which take a minimum of four months to complete.

Can composite bonding fix crooked teeth?
It’s important to know that composite bonding is a cosmetic treatment. The procedure is minimally invasive and does not alter the structure of the enamel in anyway, meaning it cannot fix crooked teeth. Instead, it disguises.
The treatment has an impressive longevity of 5 - 8 years but, if you want a more long-term solution to your crooked teeth, we recommend looking into orthodontic treatments such as clear aligners.
How to straighten crooked teeth
No matter your age, you are able to undergo teeth straightening. The following treatments are all great options for your smile, but the best option for you depends on the severity of your crooked teeth and your lifestyle.
