It is good to straighten your teeth before composite bonding because when teeth are aligned properly, it can help ensure that the composite bonding is more effective and longer-lasting.
Also if teeth are misaligned or have gaps between them, it can be challenging to apply the composite resin evenly and get a smooth, natural-looking result. Straightening the teeth first through orthodontic treatment like braces or clear aligners can help ensure that the teeth are in the proper position and that the composite bonding can be applied more easily and effectively.
