Wanted to know if i can still get braces after i get all my molars pulled out?

Molars: Why are you having all your molars removed? It is possible to have braces with no molars however it may be more difficult as we need anchorage to move teeth and molars are great anchors.

Yes You can: But for further details, you need to see an orthodontist.

Yes, but: It would be wise to have an initial examination (usually free) done by a specialist Orthodontist BEFORE any teeth are removed, restored, reshaped, etc. That way the Orthodontist can work with your Restorative Dentist to provide you with the best possible platform on which to do your restorative treatment.

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?
