Question 1

if i have a crown in one of my molars and the crown is slightly unfit (bigger than what my jaw allow, just slightly), could braces possibly adjust that to align/fit my other teeth as well or should i get a new crown that perfectly fit before braces?

Accepted Answer

: As crowns are custom made prosthetics, there is no reason that a crown cannot be made to fit in your mouth just right. Have the dentist make you a new crown.

Question 2

are crowns with braces safe to get?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Absolutely.  What are your concerns? Discuss them directly with your own dentist.  Find a dentist who comes highly recommended by friends, family, co-workers or colleagues.

Question 3

i have a crooked front tooth,  i'm 25 and do not want braces i want to finally fix this. is it dangerous to get a crown and root canal?

Accepted Answer

Root canal hazards: There is evidence that most root canals harbor chronic infections that can lead to a variety of serious health problems including cancer. See http://www.Westonaprice.Org/dentistry/root-canal-dangers

Question 4

i had a root canal 10 years ago, and just got braces off 2 days ago. i'm due to get a crown but i'm experiencing facial numbness now and sinking tooth?

Accepted Answer

Ask your dentist: I am not aware of these symptoms associated with braces, it is best to talk to your dentist and endodontist before getting that crown. The sinking tooth? Can you elaborate, not very clear what you mean. Good luck.

Question 5

i would like to get braces done, however i currently have a filling on one of my front teeth and a crown on the other, they next to each other.
i would like to replace the filling and the crown with a permanent solution like implant in the long run

Accepted Answer

Treatment Planning: When a dentist examines your dentition, together with radiographs, s/he can intelligently discuss your current dental needs and future desires. Without this information, it is not feasible to advise you over the internet, other than to tell you to make an appointment with a local dentist for a consultation.

Question 6

can you get a brace to straighten crown?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Braces actually cause the root of the tooth to move within the bone. Braces do not change the position of the root to the crown. So a tooth with a crown will move the exact same as a tooth without a crown.

Question 7

can you get crowns on the bottom teeth if you have a brace just on the top teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes but...: Yes, that&#x27;s possible. You should be seen by a dentist to diagnose your dental problems and discuss both treatment options and timing. Please do not rely on internet research to replace that one on one doctor\patient relationship.

Question 8

can i get braces if i have a cravity?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: It is best to get your teeth checked by a dentist and any cavities filled before you start orthodontics.

Question 9

could i still get clear braces if i have extractions and an overbite?

Accepted Answer

Probably: This will depend on the complexities of your case, but many time clear braces can be done.  Talk to an orthodontist that does invisalign.  They can explain  all of the options you have for  treatment.

Question 10

wanted to know if i can get invisalign instead of braces if i have a overbite?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: But there is no clear cut answer to your question. It depends on the severity of your malocclusion and the treatment preferences of your orthodontist. Seek a consultation with a local orthodontist (who can actually examine you) for guidance as to what might work best in your situation.
