Should be: But, the implant cannot move, so the position needs to be evaluated prior to orthodontic treatment. Your orthodontist should do this routinely.

Mixed bag: As implants will not move they make for excellent anchorage to help move natural teeth. Problem lies in the fact that the implant was done to your malocclusion, and after teeth placed into ideal relationships the implant may be in wrong place. Discuss your diagnosis and treatment plan with both restorative dentist and qualified orthodontic specialist.
