Why Do Braces Brackets Need to Be Removed when Doing an Implant Impression?

Katie D
My implant dentist insists on my braces brackets next to the empty space awaiting the crown be removed but my orthodontist insists the opposite because of the possibility of my teeth shifting within the time it takes the impression to be made. What are your opinions. I agree with my orthodontist in not wanting to remove the brackets to help hold the space. The space is being held by wire & spring between the two brackets. Thank you,
