Hi friends!

I'm on tray 3 of 20 to fix my overbite/misaligned bite. When I went over my treatment plan with my provider, she said that we should do composite bonding to close the gaps at the front of my teeth, rather than fixing with the aligners. Her rationale was that outside of the front, my top teeth were spaced well, and she did not want to create crowding/ruin that by moving everything up to close the gaps. I only have 1-3mm gaps between the front 6 teeth and my teeth are pretty straight. I'm pretty anxious in medical settings and hence didn't think much of clearly during my consultation to ask questions, but now that I'm chillin a few weeks in I have some concerns. 

What I'm struggling with is that I looked into what composite bonding actually entails, and it requires much more intense maintenance than I expected. Not only can it chip/stain (big SAD for front teeth), but I also can't whiten it and it will need to be redone every 3-10 years. I generally trust my provider and she's been absolutely amazing, but I feel a little bamboozled that I was convinced to follow this plan without the full scope of what bonding maintenance looks like. Since my gaps aren't too big, I almost feel like it might be more worthwhile to close the gaps using Invisalign. Does anyone have experience with a similar situation?

Also - I do not care about the gaps cosmetically - just want to maintain healthy bone and gaps can contribute to bone loss. So anything appearance-wise is okay with me between the 2 options. Thank you guys so much for reading and looking at my ugly teeth pics :)

feeling misled - composite bonding over closing gaps with trays?
