Can porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns still be corrected?
Disease description:
It has been a year since I got several porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, and recently I noticed that they are slightly crooked. Can this situation be corrected? Is it possible to adjust or fix the porcelain crowns now?

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can be orthodontically adjusted. Doctors will provide appropriate corrective measures based on the patient's specific condition. When dental issues exist with crowned teeth and tooth extraction is required for orthodontic treatment, ceramic-crowned teeth are generally prioritized for removal. For patients with malocclusion, orthodontic correction should first be performed in the orthodontics department prior to porcelain restoration, and dental restoration is carried out only after orthodontic treatment is completed. In cases involving a single porcelain crown, normal orthodontic movement can be achieved using a special bonding agent during treatment.
