For those who are missing teeth or who have remaining teeth in bad shape, getting dental implants can be one of the best procedures to revitalize your mouth and bring back confidence to your smile. The results are simply unmatched, even when compared to other tooth replacement techniques such as dentures or fixed-bridges. But what can you do if you have dental implants and remaining natural teeth which are improperly placed? Crooked teeth or out of place teeth are conditions that a time-tested dental technique can fix. That technique? Orthodontics using braces and Invisalign However, orthodontic techniques can only be used along with implants if the conditions in the patient are just right. Remember, everyone’s mouth is different – they have different natural factors, and the way our mouths develop is unique. It’s generally optimal for orthodontic treatment to be used to straighten teeth before dental implants are inserted. This is the scenario that plays out most often, as it’s usually recommended by dentists and orthodontists. One way to think of this is to consider your teeth like pins in a bowling alley – you want them all to be set up just right before any action is done! However, in some cases the braces can be used after the teeth implants have been inserted. Some of the considerations a dentist will make before putting braces on dental implants include whether the orthodontic treatment is being done on teeth that are not near to, or opposing, the implants. If you are trying to properly align your front teeth with braces, while your back teeth are implants, then this option is possible. Remember, implants are not natural teeth – they are fixed directly into the jawbone. This means they cannot move like natural teeth do, because they do not have the ligament present as we do in our natural teeth. Another strong thing dentists have to consider is when the dental implant is being used as an anchor to better control the movement of specific teeth. Think of the implant as a post, which is then used with the braces to reposition the natural teeth by pulling them away or towards the implanted tooth. No matter what the current situation of your teeth is, your dentist can find you a great solution for your dental needs! If the implant has not been done, it’s always better to do the braces first because once the implant goes in it cannot be moved. What we like to do is to align the teeth first to get the perfect biting position then we put the implant in. However, if the implant has already been placed, your child can still get braces. What the orthodontist has to do is to shift the teeth around the implant. It’s like having to move everything around the implant so it’s actually harder for them to do it. So yes, it can still be done but it’s better to do the braces first then put the implant in. For example, let’s say I fell and broke my front tooth and I need braces to correct my alignment. What happens is that, rather than locking an implant in, the orthodontist will shift the teeth while leaving a gap in preparation for an implant. But of course, you wouldn’t walk around with a hole right? If you’re using Invisalign, what the orthodontist might do is to colour it in on the retainers to fake a tooth. If you’re getting metal braces, they will paste a fake tooth on the metal and just hook it up.
More and more adult patients are starting orthodontic treatment. It can be a limited treatment for some crowding on the front or it could be a more comprehensive treatment to address a bigger issue. With Invisalign, clear aligners, Champagne braces or gold braces, there are so many options to choose from and that is one of the main reasons why more adult patients are doing orthodontic treatment. Most adult patients have some questions regarding the sequencing of their treatment. So today, we have a detailed Q&A about sequencing your orthodontic treatment. Should I get braces before or after implant? Orthodontic treatment always comes before implant. There are several reasons for that:
Should I get my cleaning done before or after braces/orthodontic exam? Your cleaning appointment always comes before your orthodontic exam. Your dentist needs to check your gums and make sure you don’t have any active gum disease before you start your treatment. If you start your treatment with active gum disease, your gum disease could progress very rapidly and leave you in a worse situation than when you started. During your orthodontic treatment, you need to continue your regular cleaning appointments as well. Based on your current gum condition, your dentist might recommend cleanings be done every 3, 4 or 6 months during your braces/Invisalign treatment. Dr Sepi will coordinate that with your dentist in Kirkland, Woodinville, Redmond or Bellevue to make sure your cleanings are done regularly and that you do not fall behind on that. Should I get Veneers before or after braces? Veneers or in general, any type of definitive treatment on your teeth should be done after orthodontic treatment. There are several reasons for that:

Can you get braces or Invisalign with an implant?In most cases, the answer is yes. A dental implant cannot be moved like a regular tooth as the implant body is fixed, integrated into your jaw bone. Invisalign, clear aligners, and traditional orthodontics cannot move dental implants.
Can you get braces with crowns and implants?CAN BRACES BE ATTACHED TO CROWNS? Patients who have crowns (aka caps) in their mouth often wonder if they can receive orthodontic treatment, and the answer is yes. It is never too late to straighten your teeth.

They can be used in combination with other techniques, such as orthodontic work, to completely revitalize your smile. If you require both implants and braces, it is best to complete your treatment with braces first.
