I have been told that I need root canal surgery, will this effect my Invisalign treatment?

April 18th, 2011

I chipped one of my front teeth a couple of years ago. At a recent check up I was told that there was permanent nerve damage and I may have to have a root canal.
I am in the process of saving up for Invisalign treatment which I was hoping to start soon. Could root canal work delay this and could starting orthodontic treatment with a newly done root canal have adverse consequences?

Should I have root canal treatment and an implant even though I am only 15 and my jaw hasn’t finished growing?

April 8th, 2011

I lost a tooth a couple of years ago playing rugby. My dentist managed to replace it, but since then it has needed a root canal and become ankylosed to the jaw bone and started resorbing. I have Invisalign at the moment (I am 15) and they are due to come off in a couple of months. My orthodontist thinks that I should leave the tooth in till I stop growing and then replace it immediately with an implant. He thinks that if I have the tooth out now by the time I get the implant I may have suffered bone loss. However my dentist thinks that because it is ankylosed it could be casuing jaw detoriation and the tooth should be removed as soon as I stop wearing my Invisalign. what do you think?
