Yes, but...: Best to have teeth straightened before teeth are crowned. Cannot move a bridge. Cannot move an implant. Hard to bond a brace onto porcelain. Individually crowned teeth respond to ortho rx exactly like natural teeth. Please see qualified orthodontist for initial exam and discuss your questions with him/her. You'll be glad you did.

YES: But the "attachement of the braces" to the tooth is different. Instead of bonded brackets, the braces are attached with "bands" which are metal "circles" around the tooth.

Depends: If it is a metal crown then nothing can be bonded, you will need a circumferential band that goes around the tooth. If it is a porcelain crown, then the dentist may use a special adhesive (silane) that allows us to bond brackets successfully to porcelain. See your dentist or orthodontist for an evaluation.

Porcelain bonding: Brackets can be boned to porcelain crowns. No worries.
