I have short roots on my front teeth and they’re also crowded, can I have orthodontic treatment to fix them?

Q. Hello, i am a 19 year old and have very short roots on my two front teeth, which are slightly crowded, protruding by just under 4mm. I am a serious actor and am going on to acting school in a couple of years, and am aware of all the risks involved and am ok with getting implants if it comes to that. My teeth are very healthy except for the short roots. Would it still probably be possible to get orthodontics of some kind? I am happy to sign anything saying i accept the risks.,
A. You can have braces we would just need to monitor the roots and the long term prognosis of teeth is questionable. You could have implants with teeth fitted on the same day, this is something I do a lot of now so you never have missing teeth.

Hi, I’m 21 years old with a awful set of crooked teeth. I suffered from over crowdedness when I was younger, which resulted in me having teeth out and a retainer brace fitted, as my roots were far too short for a standard brace. This worked for a short time, but my teeth have moved back to their original place, since the brace has been taken off.
My front teeth are now slightly wobbly (due to short roots I think) and I would really like to know if there’s anything that can help make them straight for once.
