Several options : Your missing teeth can be added to the arch wire and held in place with a small while your teeth are moved. It is important to know that at the end of your teeth movement process, your partial denture may no longer fit and a new one will be needed. If possible consider a longer term solution like dental implants to replace your missing teeth.

No problem: Your orthodontist can design and incorporate that problem as part of the treatment plan.

No problem: Even if a tooth is capped it can be moved. Bridges ;implants can't, and may influence treatment plan. An orthodontic specialist can overcome most treatment obstacles. Please note it is better to align teeth before placing caps, veneers, bridges, permanent implants, bonding, etc. Please seek consultation w orthodontic specialist who will coordinate treatment w your restorative dentist.
