Many doctors flatly refuse to put braces if a person already has implants - this is due to the fact that the artificial tooth does not lend itself to movement, said orthodontist Andrey Oparin.

“It is important to understand: teeth have a ligamentous apparatus - the periodontium. Due to the impact on the periodontium, bone tissue is rebuilt and the tooth moves. The implant does not have this ligamentous apparatus - it grows into the bone tissue and becomes a fixed element. The movement of the implant is impossible, moreover, it limits the movement of the remaining teeth,” he said.

The presence of implants significantly limits the possibilities of orthodontic treatment. Therefore, first you need to cure your teeth and carry braces, and only then install artificial teeth.

“Remember, first you plan all stages of dental treatment - with an orthodontist, an orthopedist and a surgeon. After - orthodontic treatment, implantation and prosthetics, ”concluded Oparin.
