Will braces make my tooth (with a short root) fall out? (Photo)

July 21, 2021
Asked By:anon7932 in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

I'm interested in getting braces again to fix the slant/cant in my top front teeth and to bring the top teeth down a bit so there's more overlap between my top and bottom teeth. However, the root of my top left lateral incisor is damaged and short from when it was impacted by my canine during childhood. I know large movements could cause root resorption and cause it to fall out, but would simply fixing a slight cant and bringing the teeth down a bit be okay?
