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 this true or would it be best to just keep using dental guards when I sleep? My teeth have only a slight misalignment that most people wouldn’t even notice.

What braces would be best to treat teeth that have relapsed?

March 15th, 2010

Q.
When I was younger I had fixed braces and this involved getting four teeth removed toward the back of my mouth.
