hello visit a dentist and get it checked.get your root canal treatment done followed by a crown.orthodontic treatment is most safest and conservative procedure.it will take around 1 1/2 to 2 years to get it done depending upon the case and the dentist.

Hi dear the duration of orthodontic cases usually varies from case to case and age factor , patient compliance and hygiene. Usually it ranges from  1 to 1.5 years.In case you have a busy schedule you can start both the treatments, root canal would be over in a week .
Next Steps
OPG is required.

It is difficult to answer if I have incomplete information,what kind of gap is there and how big is the gap,a root canal treatment needs about two weeks to get completed.

The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the problem. treatment ranges from 1 year to 3 years. in your case, if its only space in the front , may need close to 1 year. Root canal treated teeth do not cause any issues for Orthodontic treatment.

Visit an Orthodontist for evaluation.

Hello Mam, As a Root canal specialist,we can complete the RCT treatment 90% OF THE TIMES IN A SINGLE SITTING.After this a crown has to be placed,requiring 2 more visits.Coming to braces treatment usually the duration would be 15-18 months,with a single visit every month.Regards,Dr Sumanmakam,Dental arts,jayanagar,B'lore.
