I’m getting a permanent crown put on my bottom last molar (bottom right) today. At my last adjustment my ortho tried to put in spacers so she could fit molar bands but she said the filling in my tooth (on the left bottom) was too big and she couldn’t get the spacers in. She said she would use molar brackets after I got my crown. I want to know how long it takes for a crown to be ready to have appliances attached to them? Some posts here on AW say that you can’t and some say you can put brackets on crowns. Will molar bands be better or can you have brackets attached to crowns without a problem? And what about the filling in my other molar? Will I have to have it replaced since she said it was too big? I’m seeing the dentist today and I want to know what I can suggest about the large filling because I feel I am slowing my progress being that my ortho is ready to attach the back teeth now. (they are not bracketed or banded now).
Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks
Brackets or bands
