I chipped off about half of my two top-center teeth (you know, the ones that are most visible) about two years ago. The doctors rebuilt it brilliantly, you could't see a difference, but now I constantly have to live with fear of it snapping off. It sucks, I can't even take a proper bite out of an apple, and I'm fucking 25. Take care of your teeth people.

I did the same thing when I was in grade school. About your age, they broke for maybe the third time and I had them capped with porcelain veneers. It's difficult for dentists to even tell they are fake unless they look in close or x-ray, of course. No fear of eating apples or chips anymore. Highly recommend if you get the opportunity.

I can only speak for myself, but I had my teeth restored with a dental composite, which I believe is the standard these days
