Is There Anything I Can Do About This Crooked Tooth?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 13th, 2009

I had braces 2 years ago. My teeth were perfect when I got them off. The retainer I got was fucked up when I got it and made my teeth more crooked. My orthodontist wouldn’t give me a new one so I smashed it so he would have to give me a new one. It fit. I lost it near the beginning of the new year. My front left tooth has gradually become noticeably crooked, kinda turned outward. I haven’t been able to go to the orthodontist yet but I’m getting a molding done for a retainer next Tuesday. Is there anything I can do to fix the crooked tooth? Maybe one or two invisalign retainers (how much do you think that would cost)? I can’t do braces again. Not because I am embarassed by them. Because that would be way too expensive to just fix one tooth (most of braces price are hardware, not how long you’ll have them) but invisalign is more about how many sets of aligner things you have to have right? Any suggestions for getting it straight?

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
