Can I get braces if I have a dental condition?
Yes, you may still be able to get braces even if you have a dental condition; however, the type and timing of treatment may vary. It is important to consult with an orthodontist who can assess your specific dental condition and create a customized treatment plan. Whether you have cavities, gum disease, or missing teeth, your orthodontist will consider these factors before recommending braces. In some cases, it may be necessary to address the dental condition before starting orthodontic treatment. For example, if you have gum disease, it may need to be treated and brought under control before braces can be applied. Ultimately, the decision to proceed with braces will be made based on your individual dental condition and the evaluation of your orthodontist.
