When you have crowns or bridges, the approach to orthodontic treatment may differ slightly compared to patients without these restorations. Crowns and bridges are securely attached to your teeth, which means they don’t move as easily as natural teeth. However, with careful planning and the right techniques, braces can still be used to improve your dental alignment.
One of the primary concerns with braces and crowns or bridges is ensuring that the adhesive used to attach the brackets does not damage the restorations. At Bonita Dental, we use specialized bonding agents designed to work well with various dental materials. Our experienced team will take extra care to protect your crowns and bridges during treatment.
Additionally, if you have a bridge, the teeth connected by the bridge will move as a single unit. This may require a customized treatment plan to ensure that the movement of your teeth achieves the desired results without compromising the integrity of the bridge. In some cases, clear aligners might be a preferable option, as they can provide more controlled and gentle movement, reducing the risk of damage to your dental work.
