A member asked:

Please tell me, are braces on upper jaw only possible to get?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It's possible to do single arch treatment in a limited problem field. Usually, however, it's necessary to treat both arches in order to get the best "fit, " function, esthetics, and stability. Ask an orthodontic specialist to examine you and give you the treatment options that are in your best interest.

A member asked:

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?
