Why Canine is Turning Sideways?

miami60Aug 24, 2013
Missing two incisors but canine so close that gaps were minimal. Since removing wisdom tooth, noticed left canine sliding away from the front but now I noticed that it has turned sideways creating too big a gap. What can be done to straighten out again. Is there any solution that does not require braces? As a matter of reference, my sister who was never missing any teeth, has the same canine turning around.

Thank you Thomas for your question. I would highly recommend to wear a sports guard while you are playing sports. It will protect you and your mouth from injury. In regards to every day things, you might want to use soft dental wax in case braces bother your lips or cheeks.Good luck!

The fee paid is to the treating doctor. Unless you plan to pay an hourly fee for each visit, it won't happen. The original doctor likely wont want someone else meddling with their case, either.  Braces need to be done where you can return every 4-6 weeks.

I hate to say it, but many dentists don't know what they don't know.  Without photos I wouldn't even try to guess.   i suggest seeing 2 other orthodontists for opinions.  How old is the daughter?  Facial development is still happening, likely will look normal later.
