A member asked:

Can having a half false front tooth affect your braces?

4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Probably not: The dentist or orthodontist will examine the mouth and will determine the teeth influenced by the braces. Depending on what your half false front tooth is(large resin filling, bonding, veneer, partial crown), there are ways to work with it. Invisalign would not use brackets to attach to the front of the tooth. Let them work out the details of your case. Good luck.

That depends: Your orthodontist has several different methods that can be used to attach an orthodontic bracket to your tooth, so that is not a problem. If the tooth has had root canal therapy they may need to move it more slowly then normal so not to damage the root. It is also possible that the ortho bracket could damage the existing filling and it nay require replacement after ortho treatment is done.

Not a problem: From the orthodontists perspective about bonding the bracket to the restoration or placing a band around the tooth. You might need a new restoration after the orthodontic treatment is completed. Rec.: if concerned, ask your orthodontist for more information.
