Hi, I'm having an issue with my top right canine tooth, it's tilting on an angle out towards the lips. I want this tooth to sit 'straight', and also to cover up the space between the top and bottom canine tooth. What can I get my orthodontics to do? We've tried pretty much everything but it just won't move. Using Damon braces with Insignia system & I'm on my last wire. Had them on for almost 2 years. NEED To get them off soon. Any suggestions please from other orthodontics would be great! PLEASE
