Process:
1. Evaluation and diagnosis: Your orthodontist will examine your teeth, including the decaying tooth, to assess the extent of the decay and determine the best course of treatment.
2. Root Canal: Since your tooth is decaying and decayed teeth are fragile and can easily break in half, a root canal can potentially prevent the need to remove the tooth. Once the root canal procedure is done the tooth should become stronger.
3. Filling or crown: If the decay is limited and the tooth is structurally sound, your dentist may be able to restore it with a filling. If the decay is extensive, a crown may be needed to protect the tooth and provide structural support.
4. Braces Treatment: Once the decaying tooth is treated and restored, you can proceed with your braces treatment. Braces will be placed on your teeth to correct alignment and spacing issues.
5. Regular Monitoring: Throughout the course of your braces treatment, your orthodontist will closely monitor the decaying tooth and the surrounding teeth to ensure that they remain healthy and strong.
It's essential to address the decaying tooth before starting braces treatment to ensure the best possible outcome for your oral health.
However, it's important to note that the exact process may vary depending on the specific case and the recommendations of your orthodontist and dentist.
