Can a crown affect the result of a brace?

September 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I have a crown on one of my top back teeth also a small replaced chip on one of the front teeth. Would that pose a problem? I am concerned that the crown may be put under too much pressure or may be compramised, the crown is a year old.

The replaced chip at the front is a small area at the bottom left of the right front tooth.

How long would the braces be in for? The teeth are not that badly unaligned. I have one wisdom tooth fully out at the back left of the top and one out a little bit at the back right. I also have two fillings in the two teeth next to the front two. Where ard the braces fixed?

My over-the-top dentist says I have the start of gum disease. Wouldn’t braces make it worse?

September 14th, 2011
Q.

hello, my dentist said i have the start of gum disease but hasnt done anything about it, they dont bleed when i brush or floss only sometimes like when im ill or when im due on my period, im also on the contreceptive pill which could also be why i have red gums. Also I have always had quite dark gums since being in primary school im 18 now. Well im due at the othodontist next week and was wondering wouldnt having braces make it worse? They didnt suspect any gum disease when they checked my mouth, im just very worried. My dentist sometimes is a little over the top
