In my experience, I have had three root canal fillings. None were successful. I was warned about this from friends who have had this procedure done.
Some have suggested that a 'crown' would help. That has not been my finding. Again, that is IMO and my experiences.
Were I you, I would have the tooth removed and consider an implant. Yes, they're costly, but succeed IMO far better than a root canal.
It was also my finding that a root canal made my tooth very susceptible to breakage, damage, etc., in that root canal fillings are a delicate and less than a desirable way to "keep" your tooth.
It's your call --- and be sure to address your dentist with your concerns about the "success" of root canal fillings. IF he or she is honest (and not just looking for more money to charge you) --- then you may well consider an implant. A root canal may well cost as much as an implant --- which is far superior.

If you had a root canal done 11 months ago with only a temporary filling and you now have braces can you still have the root canal finished?
usually. The braces will not effect the root canal therapy, which should be completed ASAP. Temporary fillings are just that - temporary. They can break down and begin to leak after a certain amount of time. The tooth likely will need a crown after the root canal is completed, in which case the braces may impede the process. At the very least, request a permanent material/filling is placed at the time of root canal completion.
