Is it possible to have dentures and braces at the same time?

No: If wearing dentures braces can not straighten out denture teeth because the teeth are permanently set in acrylic and therefore can not move.

Never heard of this.: If you are referring to complete dentures then all teeth would be out. No teeth, nothing to put braces on.

No : If you have full dentures the answer is no, if however, one arch is a denture and the other is natural teeth then yes, the question is why would you do that. I cannot think of a good reason to do it.

Dentures and Braces: Yes, it is very common to have dentures and braces at the same time. Sometimes it is necessary to correct one arch of teeth in order for an opposing denture to function and have retention in the mouth.
