I've had braces for 6 months now and a month ago had to have root canal done on a bottom molar. Will I have to wait for my braces to come off before I can get a crown put on that molar? I'm worried my tooth will fracture/break if I don't have a crown on it. I still have at least 1.5 years left of orthodontic treatment left. I went to get a second opinion and that dentist said my dentist made the right call. Will attaching a bracket to a porcelain fused to metal crown damage it?
