Often when talking about orthodontic treatment<\/a>, some dentists will make the mistake of assuming that they\u2019re always dealing with a set of immaculate teeth. However, in reality, very few people\u2019s teeth are perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have had some kind of dental work\u2014like crowns, bridges, or veneers\u2014you may wonder whether orthodontic treatment is an option for you. Here\u2019s some information that you might find useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Will Dental Work Cause Problems for Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering traditional wire-and-bracket braces, there are unfortunately some varieties of dental work that can cause problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of certain kinds of dental work, it could be difficult for the brackets to adhere to them. This is the case for veneers, for example. However, there are also some specialized adhesives that make it possible to attach brackets to certain kinds of crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve had a root canal before, it may also be the case that your teeth aren\u2019t quite strong enough for braces. You should let your dentist know if that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, whether braces are an option for you depends on the quality, amount, and kind of dental work that you\u2019ve had. You should tell your dentist about your medical history and they\u2019ll be able to let you know whether braces are a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What About Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While braces may not be possible for people with dental work, Invisalign is another story. Invisalign aligners don\u2019t have to adhere to the teeth, which means that they skirt the problems traditional braces may have with crowns or veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Invisalign can\u2019t do everything that traditional braces can. However, when dealing with moderate misalignment, Invisalign may be a little easier for people with dental work to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I Get Restoration Before or After Orthodontia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re talking to your dentist about a smile makeover, you may be getting a mix between restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic care. In such cases, it\u2019s generally recommended that you get braces before getting crowns, bridges, or veneers, for the reasons listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
