So I fell and one of my teeth chipped off and the other has a large piece broken and I have braces on, Any suggestions? (photo)

Question

I'm going to the dentist tomorrow, I wanna know if this is fixable

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD · Answer

Normally during orthodontics, not much can/should be done.  In this case, the braces likely prevented WORSE damage.However, the chipped part needs fixing.  Tips of teeth are hard to fix (will likely break off easily) so be patient.  After the braces are off, veneers or crowns can be placed, and root canal therapy may be needed as well (if root canals are needed, that CAN be done during the braces treatment).

Elizabeth Reiser-Loeber, DMD · Answer

The dentist will probably do a couple fillings for now and then a crown when the braces are off. The nerve may be exposed in the badly broken tooth. If that's the case a root canal will be done as well. Your teeth are fixable! Sincerely, Dr. Reiser
