A member asked:

If I have a crown in one of my molars and the crown is slightly unfit (bigger than what my jaw allow, just slightly), could braces possibly adjust that to align/fit my other teeth as well or should I get a new crown that perfectly fit before braces?

15-yr old, with braces, missing 1 canine. dentist says implant at 18. Ortho-D says move molars 1&2 forward & get implant where M2 is now, at 18. Ortho says better to have own teeth up front and that there's not full space for canine. IDK what to do?

A member asked:

X-ray did not show any infection for teeth but I have inflammation due to my molars being impacted. Dentist said I need to get them removed and prescribed antibiotics. Why antibiotics if there is no infection? Inflammation going away, can I vape?
