Can a dental crown be made to fit a retainer being worn after braces?

Yes. Technically a crown should be made to closely remember the existing tooth therefore fitting the existing retainer. However, depending upon why the tooth requires the crown the retainer may or may not fit WELL. The ideal situation is to have the crown done and the retainer remade to fit the new crown PERFECTLY. The compromising situation is to have the crown done and adjusting the retainer to fit the new crown IF POSSIBLE. Sometimes the retainer is held in the mouth by a clasp, connector, or portion of the retainer that is unable to be adjusted or changed BECAUSE of the location/shape/size of the new crown. Remaking the retainer may be simply a longer-lasting, better-fitting, easier, or cost-effective way or any combination of such to have a FUNCTIONAL retainer. Remember, the goal is to fix the tooth that requires the crown AND to keep the teeth in their proper positions.
