Normal Orthodontics: If teeth and supporting bone are healthy, teeth can be moved without problem. Bonding on surface of tooth will not impede movement. Bonding (splinting) teeth together will require desplinting. Time varies according to severity of problem. Consult with a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who will work with your Restorative Dentist to provide you with the best possible result.
