A dentist recently added, without my consent, bonding to 3 of my front bottom teeth. (I suffer from bruxism at night and had started to grind on these teeth. I had asked if he could bond one small crack in the top of one tooth and he completely bonded 3 whole teeth.) Days later I had the bonding removed and I think the dentist removed some healthy tooth with it. They now feel thinner, jagged on top, and uneven. I can’t stand it. The teeth that were bonded are 23-25, and 23/24 are the ones that bother me.
My question is - I'm considering doing Ortho to correct a deep overbite that may contribute to the teeth wear. I’m also seeing a Sleep Apnea Dentist to possibly get an oral appliance to help with the bruxism. Do I bother seeing someone about the teeth that are bothering me now, or hold off since I’m considering Ortho? I’m struggling with this on a daily basis. They aren’t sensitive, just very annoying.
See a before (teeth look whiter) and after pic (teeth look a little yellower due to lighting).
