Braces are a method of correcting misaligned teeth and bringing them to the correct position. On the contrary, the porcelain crown method is a solution to restore defective teeth and bring beautiful, naturally bright white teeth. Accordingly, many people wonder if porcelain braces should be done before braces or vice versa. Is it possible? Therefore, the article below will help you answer in detail, don’t miss this article!
Is it possible to get ceramic braces?
To answer the problems “Is it possible to get ceramic braces?” In fact, braces after porcelain crowns cannot be performed in cases of full-mouth porcelain crowns. Because during the process of performing full-mouth porcelain crowns, the doctor has now evenly arranged the teeth without the need for porcelain braces.
On the contrary, in the case of single porcelain crowns, the porcelain teeth and real tooth stumps can be adjusted to the desired position. Furthermore, the surface of porcelain teeth does not have the same adhesion as real teeth, so the doctor will use specialized glue to fix the braces.
However, if you are planning to get ceramic braces, go to a reputable dentist to be examined by a doctor and given specific treatment directions. In addition, the performing doctor must be highly skilled and professionally qualified with many years of experience to avoid broken teeth, or even affect the real tooth pulp inside. In addition, you need to inform the doctor whether you have had single or full porcelain crowns. From there, the doctor will give specific treatment directions.
What factors are ceramic braces based on?
In most cases, especially cases of single porcelain crowns, braces can still be applied. At this time, you need to be examined and evaluated by a doctor. However, it is necessary to rely on the following 4 factors:
Ratio of remaining tooth tissue
This will be the first factor to determine after porcelain crown and whether braces can continue or not. Because orthodontic appliances use wires, brackets or braces, they will be attached directly to the porcelain crown and exert the tightening force of the brackets to help the teeth move easily. Therefore, if the proportion of real tooth tissue is not much left, it will affect the traction force, especially the comprehensive orthodontic results in terms of aesthetics and chewing function.
Result after porcelain coating
Assessing the quality of the porcelain crown is tight and well bonded or not, this will limit the situation of the tooth root falling out. Therefore, before orthodontics, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination of the roots.
In case a gap is discovered, the doctor will request to rebuild the porcelain tooth and then proceed with braces.
The distance of tooth movement
The maximum limit on how much teeth can move is also a factor in determining whether porcelain crowns can be used for braces. Because in some cases of severe underbite and protrusion of teeth that require long distance travel, the doctor will consider the possibility of doing so. This will help patients after treatment still have healthy tooth roots in the jawbone, without root resorption or uprooting.
Are the teeth stiff? Therefore, before performing the procedure, the doctor will check whether the sound when tapping the tooth is toothy or resonant.
At the same time, observe the gum line or incisal edges, occlusal surface and check the periodontal ligament space by X-ray or apical scan.
