I am undergoing testing to determine if I have MS. On my MRI's they are unable to see at all the temporal lobes because of the artifact caused by my braces. My ortho has been very understanding and has offered to remove the braces and put them back on after the testing.

I really do not want to go through all of that. I probably have at least another year to go in these braces. My teeth are just about straight but this impacted tooth is just taking it's good old time coming down. If i were to have the braces removed is there any other way to get that tooth to come down?

I know that MRI is the best way for the Dr's to see the plaques caused by MS. Do you know if in my case a CT scan would give a better picture?

Thanks!!!
