Answer: Braces first If braces are going to be done anyway then they should be done first. If not, then the implant likely would be in the way and can't be moved. Braces will allow ideal implant location and angulation.

Answer: Implants and Braces Typically, you will want to move the teeth into position before having an implant placed so that the implant can be put in an ideal position when the teeth are also in an ideal position. However, it does depend on your particular situation, sometimes if the teeth surrounding the implant don't need to be moved, an implant can be placed so it can heal while other teeth are moving around since healing typically takes a few months for implants. Hope this helps!

Answer: Which came first the braces or the implant? It depends. Ideally you want to align the teeth, then depending on the spaces, place the implant. Sometimes you realize that orthodontics can be used to decrease the space or increase the space or even eliminate the space. The only time implants are placed first is when they are needed as anchors to more teeth.Good luck.
