buccal filling

#1 Post by mel2012 »

hello,i have just been to the dentist and had a buccal filling done (outside of teeth,near cheeks) does this mean i wont be able to have braces now because that where the brackets go? I really hope i can still have treatment at some point. if i can will the filling be pulled when the braces get taken off? x

I don't think it's a big deal. I've seen many people with fillings or crowns that have braces. They just glue the bracket to the filling part of the tooth.
