If the orthodontist can apply the forces of the orthodontic appliance in the correct shapes and directions to the teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, the teeth will move without any problem and will return to their correct position.
On the other hand, it must be emphasized that the work of the dentist who performed the root canal treatment is also very important. The nerve of the tooth must be removed correctly and completely and filled with the correct materials in the appropriate manner. If these instructions are followed well and the orthodontist does his job correctly, it can be said that the movement of the teeth that have undergone root canal treatment is also possible and does not impose any restrictions on orthodontic treatment.
If the nerve of the tooth is treated well, but the orthodontist still believes that the orthodontic brackets on the tooth that underwent root treatment may cause it to break, rings called orthodontic ligaments are used instead of brackets, and they cover the tooth that underwent root canal treatment and move and regulate the teeth . Ligature therapy is a type of orthotic treatment that is performed without the use of braces.
Remember that deciding whether orthodontics should be performed with braces or ligatures is a very specialized task. Therefore, to get orthodontics, go to an orthodontist that you are sure has the necessary qualifications and experience to do this work.
