A member asked:
Can i have my teeth straightened with invisalign or braces before any other major work is done?

Depends: Some work needs to be done first, such as removing decay and infection. Some work is best done after, such as bridges and implants.

Depends: On what "major" work you are discussing. I would consult an orthodontist with a free consult first and together you can chart the best course of action.

Coordination: Treatment should be coordinated between your Restorative Dentist and a specialist Orthodontist for best results. All infection should be eliminated before Orto Rx, with final restorations held off until after Ortho Rx. See an Orthodontist for (usually free) initial examination to discuss order and dining of treatment.
