How Can I Move One Tooth into Position?

Asked By:6517anon in Australia

How can I move one tooth into position (canine)? I am halfway through Invisalign and because my one tooth wouldn't move, all my top aligners now don't fit well. My orthodontist wants me to continue with Invisalign(41 weeks) or wear full braces (4-6 months). I don't care if my teeth aren't perfectly straight, I just want my canine tooth to move approx 3mm in(space already created) but make sure the other teeth don't move. I want something quick and virtually invisible. BTW I live in Australia.
