Q. I have had a dental implant for around a year now and have no problems with it. I would really like to sort out the rest of my teeth by getting them straightened, but have heard that getting braces is not possible if you have a dental implant. Can you please tell me if this is true, or if there is a particular type of braces that are good when there are implants involved?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the issue is the implant will not move with braces. so if the teeth that need straightening will require the implant to also move then this should not be done. however if the implant is not involved with the straigthening then there is no reason why this is not possible.
