Q. I have two front upper crowns that have slipped away from my gum line and now slant forward, can my teeth be straightened then re crowned? im 45yrs old

A. Hi
it would depend on why they have slipped forward. if it is due to gum disease then it depends on whether this is under control or how much bone is left around them.
other factors would be how much tooth is left under the existing crowns and whether there is any pathology.
if these things check out the yes you may be able to have new crowns and yes you may need orthodontics to correct the position of the teeth first
