Front Teeth Question,anyone Else Had This…?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 17th, 2009

OK i know there’s plenty of questions on here about this already, some are similar but not the same, and i want to add more detail
ok so all my teeth are straight apart from the left front tooth, the bottom edge of it is stuck behind the right front tooth, by a tinyyyyyy bit , i reckon it could be simple to fix because i can stick my thumb nail in the gap and pull the tooth out from behind and my teeth look straight then but it just moves back behind it, which is so annoying,it looks like it was meant to be straight but missed out by a tiny bit,
ive been doing loads of research on ways to fix it, braces, inman aligner, invisalign, dentures and all that but i don’t think it’s serious enough that i’d need some sort of brace? i know about ‘shaving’ teeth at the bottom but can they do it from the side of the tooth so the tooth can come through, or is it now going to need some sort of pressure to push it forward? i know it sounds stupid and not worth fixing but it makes me really insecure and im shy enough as it is! and even tho people reckon they dont notice it, i do. im 18 ,19 next month, i know no orthodontist work is NOT free on the nhs no matter what, so im willing to pay watever, if anyone knows a price range ? thanks! and sorry for the longggg question x

  first of all i would highly advise against having your teeth shaved or sanded to adjust this minor mishap. This type of procedure is damaging to your tooth enamel and you could end up dealing with sensative teeth for the rest of your life. Something so minor would be a perfect case for invisalign if your not concerned about the price. I would say this is your best bet if your happy with the rest of your smile. Only resort to braces if the work is a little more major and/or your occlusion is off.

  Data is not enough to decide what is better for you, i need a photo of your teeth, age, and if possible a radiograph, for more info contact me as ahmadhashem41 at yahoo

  invisalign will work well since it is only a minimal problem. it can be fixed easily by that, definitely not worth getting braces.
