Will i be able to wear false teeth over my braces?

No: But your orthodontist can place a false tooth with a bracket on your wire so it looks like you are not missing a tooth until you are done with your braces.

Confused: If you have false teeth, why are you wearing braces?

No: However, sometimes the orthodontist can add a tooth to the wire for esthetics -- but not function. See your orthodontist. If you have implants, they can be used by the orthodontist and can have temporary teeth on them while your braces are working.

No: I do not see how you can fit false teeth over braces. I think you may be asking the quesion wrongly. Please clarify.

No: Anything that fits over the teeth would prevent tooth movement by the braces. However, missing teeth can be replaced and bonded to the braces while the movement is taking place. I would discuss this with your orthodontist.
