What can be done to fix a loose crown?

loosecrownMar 7, 2019
i have a rear molar that had root canal and crown many years ago. I think the crown is loose. Some days I have pain with pressure on the tooth and other days I do not. What type of dental practitioner should I see, an endodontist? How would this be diagnosed? What would be the process to fix this since the crown has not actually come off?

Yes, that is possible through orthodontic treatment to extrude posteriors. I advise visiting an orthodontist to check cephalometric values and how much correction is required and whether is it possible through brace treatment.
