Can I have braces if I get implants first?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
Q.
I am 36 and recently started dental work, I have a dental phobia which I am trying to overcome and due to this I didn’t go for around 20 years, I have a crowded upper arch and have been told I may need sarpe, also I have an underbite so may also need Lefort/Bsso surgery to realign my arches. I have lost my bottom right, second molar as my wisdom grew into it and damaged it, it did sit in front of the wisdom tooth, both my lower wisdoms have been pulled ready to clear space for bsso I believe. The question I ask is I need braces to align my teeth before surgery, can my bottom arch still be fitted with a brace as now it’s in effect, loopsided, one extra tooth on one side, also if I have an implant can that be braced, or is this fitted after all the brace work? Thanks for your help, sorry for the long question.,

You can have your braces fitte… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
