Is Root Canal Treatment Advisable Before Crowning Of Teeth?
I am supposed to straighten my teeth by crowning. Is it compulsory to first go through root canaling?
How many days crown requires to straighten teeth.?
I am preferring this instead of braces because already I have gone through that 5 years ago.It was that dentist's fault as he didn't created gap for pushing teeth back.He should have taken 2 or 4 teeth out,as I was having jaw size smaller than teeth.So through that process it was pushed back a little but not aligned with the lower teeth.My teeth hence somehow looks as if they are standing forward while smiling.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The mal aligned teeth cannot be corrected by just putting a crown. Ideally the mal alignment has to be treated with braces. If you are going to get a crown to correct this it is a wrong decision. The problem will not be solved by the crown.
The root canal treatment has to be done before putting a crown because if the get infected in future, whole procedure has to be repeated so prophylactically.
I would suggest not to go for crown, rather you get braces.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
After reading the post I would like to tell you that please meet your orthodontist once and discuss the present state.If he advises you to go for braces then please go for it rather than devitalising the teeth.once a tooth is devatilised it is as good as a stump and gets brittle too.If that is the last option left with you only then you should go for it else not.If the tooth are decayed or fractured then you can easily go for root canal but a healthy tooth should not be sacrificed without proper evaluation.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually this crown which the dentist is going to place will be permanent and before placing them slight cutting of natural tooth will be done that is why the dentist is advising for root canal treatment so in future there will be no infection in tooth.
So better that once you discuss the whole treatment properly with dentist and then go for the procedure.
Hope it will help you.
