Hello,
it is nearly impossible to get the orthodontic treatment with a bridge. In orthodontics it is said to be a game of millimetres and you cant expect a bridge to move exactly the amount you want. infact if it is a bridge then that space of the arch where there is no teeth present can be assesed and adjustment with best esthetic results.
Next Steps
visit an orthodontist nearby
Health Tips
at the endo of the day you will have to get the bridge or even if it would be a single crown replaced as orthodontic treatment brings changes.

It may be slightly difficult and you might have to change the bridge later on but a better judge would be an orthodontist only you should consult with him.

Hi
It may be slightly difficult to move the teeth with braces and bridge together as compared to natural teeth also because the bond between brackets is slightly weaker on thw ceramic than natural teeth. Nevertheless it is possible but you may have to be prepared for a new bridge later once teeth are into the final position.
Next Steps
Consult us for a check up at Care Dental in Panchpakhadi, Thane. I and my orthodontist can work in tandem to solve the problem. We may need xrays to judge the case.
Health Tips
Bridge may have to be repeated later.

Yes it is possible to move teeth but not with the bridge as it is a joint immovable structure. Consult your nearby orthodontist for best results
