    Default A crown and Inman?

    Hi,
    I have had braces before and due to a botched root canal treatment I have a crown on one of my front teeth. I had braces before because my teeth had an overbite and projected. I had the braces taken off 3 1/2 years ago and I was pleased, I've had the crown for a couple of years.
    However, I've noticed that over the past year my upper front two teeth have been moving forwards again, and my old retainer doesn't fit any more.
    Would it be possible to to have an inman aligner with a crown?Would this add any extra cost?Might I be suitable for an inman aligner for projected front teeth?
    I know I'll find out more in a consultation, but I don't want to waste my time if I can't have one.

    Thank you for time.

    Dear Zoe,

    We often move teeth which have been crowned, although there are some increased risks with root treated teeth. The Inman aligner usually works very well for people who have had braces previously, but as you have already mentioned no-one will be able to say for sure without a full consultation

    I hope this helps
