What is the best treatment for a cracked tooth?

Cracked teeth are in danger of splitting completely which can be extremely painful and once a tooth has split, it usually cannot be repaired any longer. A crown encircles the entire tooth and holds the fractured parts together even under biting pressure. This is the strongest and most reliable protection for a cracked tooth, especially since it can be very difficult to determine the true extent of the crack even using x-rays. Other options include onlays which are partial crowns.

Is a rotated molar during braces treatment a cause for concern?

Thank you for your question. Molars can sometimes become rotated during braces treatment and it rarely is a cause of concern. Towards the middle or prior to end of treatment your orthodontist will be able to straighten it again before removing your braces. Do remember to keep it clean as rotated molars do trap more food than normal. This is only temporary until the molar is straightened up again. Please do talk to your orthodontist about your concerns as communication is key to successful treatment. I hope this helps and good luck!
