THE REPLACEMENT OF MISSING TEETH by dental implants often requires orthodontic treatment with either braces or Invisalign prior to implant placement.
Orthodontic Treatment In Necessary Before Dental Implants
Orthodontic treatment prior to dental implant placement is necessary for:
- Closing tooth spaces near implant sites
- Preparing the width of the implant site
- Moving adjacent tooth roots away from implant sites
- Correcting midlines for facial esthetics
- Producing maximum dental esthetics
- Correcting tooth bite relationships for an ideal bite
Dental Implants Can't Move Like Natural Teeth
If you need dental implants, it is important to have an orthodontic consultation prior to implant placement to find out if orthodontics would benefit you.
Implants are not movable like natural teeth. Once placed, the implant will not be able to have future orthodontic tooth movement. It's now or never, with orthodontic tooth movement prior to implant placement.
