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
