Does bonding stain?

I'm having my braces off next week (yay!) and I'm getting bonding on one of my front teeth to make it level with the other one. It's not hugely different just a bit worn where it was crooked.

I'm just wondering whether bonding stains? Will I have to limit the amount of coffee and red wine I drink forever?

Not that I've noticed and I drink a fair amount of coffee, tea, red wine, etc.

Like you, I have bonding on one of my upper incisors because they weren't the same length. I also have bonding on my lower incisors to repair chips that happened before braces.

Ah great, thanks. I'm going to have my teeth whitened when my braces comes off so I'm going to try and be a bit more careful anyway.

Often when bonding is used your dentist matches the color to your teeth at the time of the bonding. Make sure he/she knows about the bonding if you get a whitening as the bonding may not whiten like your tooth.
