Here is a typical crown procedure, individual cases may vary: 1. The tooth is put to sleep with a local anesthetic injection(for patient comfort during procedure). 2. The dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth with a small drill-like instrument. 3. The dentist carves and shapes the remaining tooth to receive the new crown. Sometimes a cement-like material is added to create the desired shape. 4. An impression of the prepped tooth is taken by having the patient bite down on a rubber material. 5. A temporary crown, made of plastic or metal is cemented in place on the prepped tooth. 6. At a second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and the new permanent crown is put in place. 7. The dentist checks the new crown for proper fit, making small adjustments if necessary. 8. When the crown fits properly, it is permanently cemented in place.

Your orthodontist and dentist should discuss this. usually they'll want you to get a crown after you get braces because crowns are man made and made to fit your bite before you have braces. so if you get the crown before the braces, after you straighten your teeth, your bite won't be right. They'll proabably have you do the build up on the tooth that needs the crown to make it stronger which is required before you actually get a crown. Then put braces on. And after you get your braces off then you'll get your crown.
