Braces certainly complicate oral hygiene but you can get through the process cavity-free if you are very diligent. Brushing is important, but with all the "hardware" in your mouth, the brush is not going to remove all the food and plaque (bacteria) that collects. A Waterpik is very helpful; stay away from lots of refined sugars and carbs. Use a Fluoride rinse and have your dentist/orthodontist apply fluoride varnish periodically. Sucking on Xylitol lozenges is also helpful. You can find great cavity prevention products at www.carifree.com.

However, the esthetic outcome is still dependent on the dentist's work with the patient to achieve your desired outcome.

What goes on top of an implant?

Most of the time a part called an abutment is first connected to the implant with a screw and then a crown is cemented over that abutment part. The other way of restoring the implant is for the crown to screw directly into the implant without an abutment first. The decision as to which is best is a decision the dentist makes.
