Porcelain w/ braces: Generally, when a person needs braces, all of the preliminary work is done first. In your case, the wisdom teeth come out, and the root canals have to be completed. I prefer to wait for the porcelain crowns on the root canal teeth until AFTER THE BRACES are done if there is enough natural tooth structure left following root canal. If not, then it depends on the dentist's judgement how to handle.

Final restorations: Best to wait until after tooth movement has been completed to do the final restorations, rather than trying to guess ahead of time what final occlusion will be like. A good lab processed acrylic temporary crown should be done now to seal the RC treated teeth, and final restorations later. Make sure you're seeing a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist who will coordinate Rx with your Dentist.
