Please don't go for braces right now as it acts on bone .in order to achieve proper result from braces .you should have a sound bone density .please consult your doctor weather you need any bone grafts or he/she has already placed a bone graft during surgery.

maintain excellent oral hygiene and follow all precautions suggested by doctor. bone lost is difficult to regain fully. if you are non vegetarian, try paya soup. my patients with bone loss were greatly helped by it

Laser treatment will give better results and can retain existing bone levels, and we need to wait minimum 3 months for bone regrow this.

Hello lybrate-user. Yes at times it does happen that grafted bone does not grow 100% & hence your tooth is still weak. You can either wait & check if the bone healing improves or you can get a smile design done which will improve your smile to some extent. It is not an alternative to braces but in some cases smile design gives better result than braces.
