Teeth that have had previous root canal therapy and crowns, for the most part, are completely fine to place braces on and do well with orthodontic treatment. If a tooth is sensitive or still has symptoms then it is best to wait until it is healed before trying to move it. I hope that helps. Dr. B
Teeth that had successful endodontic treatment (root canal) CAN be included in orthodontic treatment. Braces can be attached to these teeth even when crowns were used to restore root canal treatment teeth. MAKE SURE both the root canal and crown treatments were properly done.
The orthodontist or cosmetic dentist can place brace on a crown, which had root canal before. The movement of the tooth MUST be monitored via xray or radiograph, to make sure the root of the tooth will not have resorption, or pathologic changes! For More on cosmetic dentistry click here:
