Braces are a great way to straighten teeth and improve your smile. But if you already have dental implants, bridges, or missing teeth, you might be wondering if orthodontic treatment is still an option.
The good news is that in many cases, you can get braces or Invisalign, even with implants or other dental restorations. Let’s explore how braces work with implants, bridges, and missing teeth.
Got implants?
You can still get braces!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge.
They look and function like natural teeth and are a long-term solution for missing teeth. However, unlike natural teeth, implants are fixed in place and do not move.
Can You Get Braces with Implants?
Yes, you can get braces with dental implants, but there are some limitations. Since implants are permanently placed in the jaw, they do not move like natural teeth.
This means that your orthodontist will need to plan your treatment carefully to move the surrounding teeth into alignment without affecting the implant.
Can you get braces with bridges?
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth by connecting artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth. If you have a bridge, braces can still work, but adjustments may be needed.
Your orthodontist will determine the best approach based on your specific dental situation.
Can you get Invisalign with an implant?
Invisalign is a popular choice for teeth straightening, and in some cases, it can work with implants. Since Invisalign uses clear aligners to move teeth, your orthodontist will focus on shifting the surrounding natural teeth while leaving the implant in place.
However, every case is different, and an evaluation will help determine if Invisalign is right for you.
Can You Get Braces with Missing Teeth?
If you have missing teeth, braces can still be an option. In fact, orthodontic treatment can help create space for a future implant or bridge, ensuring a better alignment for your overall dental health.
Can you get braces with a fake tooth?
Yes, if you have a fake tooth (such as a temporary denture or a bonded tooth), braces can still work. Your orthodontist will plan the treatment to align your natural teeth properly and make space for a permanent tooth replacement if needed.
