Can I get braces with a permanent crown?

Question

I recently went and got my teeth worked on and I had a really bad cavity so they gave me permant silver caps . And I was wondering if I could get braces with the caps ?

Braces today are normally square shaped brackets that are bonded to teeth.  Before the bonding process was predictable, cement was used, but required bands that wrapped around teeth (which required spacers before treatment to create room).  With a metal crown, this tooth would require a band and the others can use bonded brackets.
