will it chip off resin or porcelain while taking braces on or off! Or like pop bracket off from the tooth...
I had braces, got them off on 1st august, 2011 but some gaps are still there because my front teeth are slightly v-shaped so their bottom edges don't meet, ortho said he can't do anything, so now i've decided to have composite bonding on my front teeth or have crowns or caps, in case if my teeth might shift back so i would need braces again but then i would have composite bonding or crowns on them! Can brackets be successfuly put on bonded or crowned teeth and hence can i have metal braces with bonding or crowns on front teeth?

not sure with braces, but the composite they use for invisalign attachments, etc. apparently doesn't always stay stuck to bridges, crowns, etc. So I'm guessing that veneers or another composite material may make it hard to attach brackets in future. But if you wear your retainers, you shouldn't need braces again (hopefully).
Yes, you can. I have one my central incissor with composite bonding and i am wearing braces. My sister also have crown on her 2 central incissor and she wore braces too. The orthodontist will use different glue for crown but the same glue for composite bonding. Anyway, i will replace it with porcelain veneer though because composite resin color easily change just 1-2 years. btw, i think crown are too far for your case. you need to consider about composit or porcelain veneer. But i don't know whether bracket can be put on porcelain veneer. you need to ask about it first to your dentist.
Good luck ^^
