Braces on teeth with bonding

Question

i have bonding on two of my front teeth. the dentist told me that he might be able to put the regular braces on those two teeth but if he cant he would have to put a metal bar type thing... does anyone have any info on this and what exactly does the metal bar look like. please tell me a website that has a picture of this so i can know what I'm getting myself into. thank you!!

Answer 1

I've got braces and they had no problem working around the rather large bonding on one of my front teeth.  I'm not sure what the metal bar type thing is, unless he means a band that typically goes around the molars.  Might want to try visiting this forum, and ask them.. lots of knowledgeable folks: http://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/viewforu...
