Would a spring retainer be enough to push my canine teeth down? (photo)

Question

I'm pretty sure none of my teeth overlap so I don't see why it shouldn't be. Also does anyone have an idea on what price it would be? Just an estimate? I'd like some kind of idea before booking an appointment. Thanksinvisalign

Based on your photos and my 10 + years of experience with cosmetic dentistry, I would not recommend a spring retainer to correct your teeth alignment.  Retainers are simply used to retain teeth in their current positions, not move them into their correct positions.  I would highly recommend clear aligner therapy, like Invisalign, Clear Correct, or something similar.  The prices generally range from a few thousand to several thousand, depending on where you live and the severity of your case.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

I appreciate your understanding of your own situation but form a clinical point of view, can you suggest how much distance the tooth has to be moved, how much derotation needed and the amount of space available. If you think that might be tough , i would suggest see a dentist who can guide you the best solution.The treatment price vary based on severity of all these above factors.
