Dental Implant After Braces?

April 30, 2009
Asked By:Albana in Pristina, Kosovo

Dear Doctor,I am Albana and I have had braces now for 9 months and I have to keep the braces for 3 more months. At this time my doctor wants to do an dental implant of one tooth while I have braces on. Do you think it is possible? Should I wait for 3 more months until I take out the braces and them to start with an implant of one missing tooth? I am 23 years old. Thank you very much. Hope to hear from you soon.
