Can I still get braces if I need to replace 2 cracked crowns?
Can I still get braces if I need to replace 2 cracked crowns in the back of my teeth?
It costs $800 each to replace each crown. Can I get braces without replacing the crowns?

This is a question only a Dentist can answer. We are not doctors or dentists and cannot offer medical advice.
For low cost dental treatment I would suggest you call a dental school. The students need patients to practice what they have learned in the classroom and on simulators. They are closely supervised and do excellent work at low and reasonable costs. They generally only charge for the material they use and work such as the caps produced by outside vendors.

That is something to ask a orthodontist. If braces are going around a tooth that is in poor shape to begin with, It doesnt sound logical to do so.
If you have low income, no insurance, try calling a couple dentists and letting them know your situation, like if out of work, a student, low or fixed income,and that you need to know of a low cost dentist, where you can pay based on a sliding scale of what you earn. I was once in such a situation. The third dentist I called told me they knew of a dentist they could refer me to. He was great and did quality work, the same as ones charging 4 times as much. So you might try that. But do check and see what an orthodontist (those who do braces ) will say. Just so you know, braces cost a heck of a lot more than crowns from my experience of kids with braces and me getting crowns done.
