Hello all, I hope you can help me with this! I have had teeth straightening treatment in Japan, it wasn’t actually Invisalign, but a cheaper Japanese company using a similar process. Yesterday I had a root canal treatment done and they removed the metal crown I had. In the appointment before the treatment, he said he was going to drill through my metal crown, but I realized during it that he was taking it off. If I’d known before I would have asked for a mold of my teeth to use for new crown to fit my aligners but it was too late. After paying through the nose for this root canal already, I don’t have ¥160,000 to pay for the crown. He said since I went the private route, he can’t offer me a crown using NHI. I feel it was lacking in clarity since he should have told me beforehand.
Has anyone had a crown done like this? Can you recommend a good NHI covered dentist/orthodontist that works with Invisalign? I’m hoping they can make me a crown using my retainer mold or 3d scans ( hope to get from company who aligned my teeth). Thank you so much in advance!
