Can I wear braces if I already have an implant?

Question

I have 1 implant on the lower right side, second from last tooth. My lower teeth are way out of line with major crowding in the front. Upper teeth are not too bad and can probably be realigned with very little work. Can I wear braces now that I have an implant?

Answer 1

YES YOU CAN, THE ORTHODONTST CAN BOND TO THE CROWN HELD BY THE IMPLANT OR USE A SPACE MAINTENENCE ARRANGEMENT OF THAT SECTION OF THE BRACES.

Answer 2

Yes it is very possible to get braces and have implants. The implants sometimes can be incorported into the set up of the braces and will come in handy to move your other teeth around the implant (this is called anchorage).
