Ortho with bridge: Generally speaking, permanent bridges cannot be moved with Orthodontic treatment, but the other teeth can be. However, each case is different and this requires a one on one personal consultation with an Orthodontist to determine what can and cannot be done and what your overall treatment options are.

Probably: Fixed bridges, where 2 or more teeth are fused together, and/or implants, cannot be moved. That doesn't preclude Orthodontic care, however. There are many work-arounds. Please seek consultation with an experienced qualified Orthodontic Specialist. Your situation poses problems that require the care of a Specialist.

Likely: while the bridges can not be moved, the teeth around them can and may, in doing so, improve your smile and bite. Consult an orthodontist about your specific case.

Of course: A tooth with a crown, bridge or any type of restoration can be moved just like any other tooth, as long as its root(s) and surrounding tissues are healthy. Good luck.
