I've been told to wait until the braces are moved. That's what both the dentist and surgeon said.
Dec 2006--RPE followed by SARPE surgery
Jan 2007--Braces
Nov 2007 BSSO mandibular setback, genioplasty, and two implant anchors. Surgery-eve reprieve from Lefort.
May 2008--Debraced
Surgeries in Costa Rica, Orthodontics in Massachusetts.
All to fix an openbite, crossbite, underbite, and two missing bottom molars.

I have a few crowns and a bridge, and it has turned out to be a possible problem. I am supposed to be having surgery soon to correct an open bite and cross bite, but the surgeon thinks that he will have to shave down one of my crowns to fix the bite. Now I'm being told that I should have waited to have these crowns done after the braces, but what did I know, I had them done when I really didn't think I would have braces or surgery. I should have waited; it seems that it is best to have crowns done after braces.
