Would Braces Be Dangerous Considering My Heart Conditions?

Q.

Hello i m 45 never had braces my teeth r ok but over crowding on bottom so much now that center tooth is receding as those adjacent seem to be shifting over the receding tooth can simpli5 help correct just the bottom teeth? In addition i have two cardiac issues mvp and bicuspic aortic valve both leak slighty. I premed before each dentist appt would braces open up my mouth to to much bacteria? I would like to correct bottom teeth as they make me slightly self conscious but wonder if its to risky for someone with cardiac issues. In addition is it very costly?

Could mouth infections exacerbate my heart problems?

Q.

Hi
I am a 58 year old man with coronary artery disease.I have seven teeth on an upper plate. Whilst I do take care with hygiene I regard the plate as being very unhygienic and unsightly.
Because of bacterial mouth infect-
ions and heart disease | wondered whether teeth implants would be a viable option for me to replace the upper front denture. As well as the denture I have several crowns fitted following root canal treatment.

Thanks
