Can I get braces with bad teeth (I need a root canal and some wisdom teeth pulled)?

Or should I wait until my teeth are in their best shape? Also, I had bonding, so should I remove it before the braces, and if so, could my orthodontist remove it or would my dentist have to?

These are questions to be asked to and settled in consultation with your orthodontist, but I'll give you my experience, since you asked:





When I got braces (over 20 years ago) I had to have my wisdom teeth cut out of the bone BEFORE the braces were put on. That was so they wouldn't start to come in and mess up the dental work.
Reply:no


you need to get everything fixed first
Reply:The first consideration would be the decay rate in your mouth. A high decay rate would indicate that orthodontics would not be wise. Get the root canal done, the wisdom teeth removed and all decayed teeth and improper fillings corrected.


Next go to the orthodontist for an examination and consultation. He or she will then give you the full breakdown of anything further you need to do. That way, if you do not go for the ortho, you will at least have a good set of healthy teeth.
Reply:wait then your gonna have to fix it after a week of having them
