Can be tricky: In most cases where orthodontic movements are being made around implants, great care should be taken to take the implant crowns completly out of occlusion. The implant crowns will likely have to be remade in order to blend into your new occlusion post ortho. Your natural teeth will become mobile as they move with the orthodontics putting your implant at risk of occlusal trauma.

What?: I am not sure what you are asking. However if you want to have orthodontics and have your teeth moved an implant is a small complication that the orthodontist can deal with. The implant cannot be moved. Hopefully it is in a good position and your natural teeth can be moved to accommodate for it.

Problematic: Implants were placed to blend with your malocclusion. Sometimes when teeth moved implants (which cannot be moved) are in the way. If so, may have to be removed and replaced later at cost perhaps higher than that of the b races. Implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, etc, should probably not be done until after teeth are moved. Orthodontist & restorative dentist may need to do rx plan together.

Question unclear: I am not quite sure exactly what your question is. I think your are asking is it better to have orthodontic treatment or implant retained crowns for your "peg" lateral teeth? If that is the question, you need to discuss options with both your general dentist\prosthodontist & your orthodontist. If all your other teeth are basically straight and enough room-i prefer implants.
