Excellent question, yes bonding can correct the cosmetic aspect of crooked teeth but it is rather temporary. To correct malocclusion orthodontics is the way to go. Then bonding or a more permanent solution would be veneers or crowns to correct the cosmetics
No. Sometimes if the tooth is slightly twisted, we do composite bonding to make it look esthetically acceptable! It's camouflage, but won't fix the problem.
It is difficult to diagnose without an X-ray or a visual exam. But yes, it is possible to make a bonding to make that tooth look better.
Yes
Yes it can
In short, yes, but not very well and not for very long. There are better, and affordable options for fixing crooked teeth, especially you being so young, I would recommend something that will last and not cause you trouble down the road.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yes, easily.

Composite bonding can fix minor crowding of the teeth. However, the effect is only cosmetic and it can make the teeth harder to keep clean depending how it is done. The best way to straighten crooked teeth is to do orthodontics or a full smile design of six or more front teeth with full coverage crowns. Both costs are significant but you will achieve a better result.
No.
It depends but yes it is possible.
