Dental crowns are made of porcelain or metal and can be used to cover the entire tooth or only a portion of it. Porcelain crowns are made of white or light-colored porcelain, while metal crowns are usually made of silver or gold. Dental crowns are used to cover a tooth when it has been broken, to replace a missing tooth, or to restore a tooth that has been badly damaged. Dental crowns are typically made in a dental lab, but can also be made by a dentist in a dental clinic.

Amalgam is a restorative FILLING material. Crowns are typically porcelain fused to hi-noble metals...like palladium, gold, platinum, silver, and tin. There is also a "full gold" crown...which is exactly how it sounds. And then all porcelain crowns...which are essentially "colored glass".

Some examples of tooth restorations include dental fillings for cavities, dental crowns to cover damaged teeth, dental bridges to replace missing teeth, and dental implants to replace a tooth root and support an artificial tooth.
Dental braces are not a comfortable thing to have. If you have a temporary crown and braces then things can get even more uncomfortable. The crown and temporary crown should not interfere with the braces though.
All-resin dental crowns are less expensive than other crown types. However, they wear down over time and are more prone to fractures than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
Most crowns are made in dental laboratories by highly trained dental lab technicians. Some dentists do have the facilities to make crowns themselves though. Always ask where your crown is being made as many dentists ship them to foreign countries (such as China or Mexico) and are not required to inform you of this unless you ask. Crowns made in foreign countries are not subject to the regulations of the FDA.
