If I get dental implants, will I still be able to get braces down the road to fix the rest of my teeth?

I'm missing three of my teeth on the left side of my jaw due to bad job of wisdom teeth removal (don't ask). I am almost finished getting my implants done but I want to know if Braces is still an option for me. Anyone think they can help? THANKS!

Generally once the implants have intergrated into the bone it's a bad thing to start moving them around. If your teeth just need a little straightening then the orthodontist will not put bands around your implant teeth but focus on the natural teeth. You should tell your dentist that you are considering braces before your implant supported crowns are made because he/she may want to keep that in mind when determining how the crowns should contact with natural teeth. Hope all goes well...

Good luck!


Happy Holidays!
Reply:The implants will not move, but they would make fantastic anchor teeth for braces! Implants are locked into the bone, unlike natural teeth which have the ability to be moved.


It would really depend upon what you wanted to achieve with braces, so you would have to see an orthodontist to see if he could work around the implants.
