Can Crowns Be Used to Straighten Teeth?

June 18th, 2014

Hello, I have a question to ask. I’m 65 years old and have been to see my dentist about having my teeth straightened. I assumed he would suggest braces of some sort, but he wants to do it by using crowns – 20 of them! He told me that my teeth won’t move easily with a brace, but when they’ve been crowned they will be re-aligned, so not crooked anymore. I just thought I’d come to you for a second opinion. Can teeth be straightened with crowns?

Is it usual to straighten teeth using crowns instead of braces?

April 5th, 2012

How common is it to straighten teeth only by crowns and not using any braces? My cosmetic dentist is proposing to do 22 crowns! I am 66yrs old and I have a lot of big fillings. He says he can create space (1mm) by changing my bite and that my jaw muscles will accomodate this. He says my crooked teeth will not easliy move with a brace but says my teeth when crowned, will be re-aligned. I have a very deep bite on my front teeth resulting in excessive wear on LR1&2 and LL1&2. Advice please

Are Invisalign braces suitable for people with crowns on their teeth?

April 8th, 2011

I have had a root canal done on a front tooth, and then a crown on top of that. I also have other teeth that have a root canal, with a post in place (no crown). Are either of these cases problems for Invisalign? I’m reading that a crown is not much of a problem, but what about those teeth with the posts?

July 5th, 2010

Q.
I have been quoted 300 pounds for the imaging and 4500 pounds for invisalign. Then I have been quoted 500 pounds per crown (4 recommended). Up to 3 teeth may need to be removed.
