Can a Root Canal Be Performed While the Person is Wearing Braces?

nana2011
After a bad experience having invisalign done by a dentist, I decided to have braces. Tooth 9 got really sensitive with invisalign. After 2 months, it has gotten better but still a little sensitive. The orthodontic took x rays, it shows a shadow aroung the nerve area. She said she is going to monitor the tooth during treatment since symptoms are getting better.I am a little nervous.If the tooth starts to hurt again,can I get root canal while having the braces on? can the nerve still get better?
