One of my bottom front four teeth is slightly pointed back. My top teeth are in good alignment, but it's just this one bottom front tooth. I had braces in high school, and had great results. I stopped wearing my retainers since my 1st year in college. I'm not an expert, but is there room for it to fit between the teeth on either side? I have heard of Invisalign Express and I was just wondering if you think this is a good solution or would you recommend an alternative? Thanks.
Answer: Invisalign Express works well for minor corrections
Invisalign Express may be the perfect solution to your problem. May be is the key phrase. Sometime a patient will come to my office saying "I just want this one tooth fixed" and I find all sorts of other problems with their mouth. If your dentist has seen your mouth and just the one tooth could be moved, then Invisalign Express should work fine. They may have to shave a couple teeth to make it all work though. Good luck!

Answer: Invisalign Express for moving one tooth If the tooth is only slightly out of alignment, Invisalign Express may be a good option for you. If it is moderately out of position, I would recommend Invisalign Full -- with Invisalign Express, if you don't get the results you want by the finish of treatment, you can't refine the results without additional cost. Invisalign has refinements built in, so you can perfect the result.

Answer: Fix for one crooked tooth
I would start with the cheapest and simplest way first. You wore braces and had great results. Then you stopped wearing your retainers since the first year of college. Not a good choice...but it happens to many. I would first try a retainer that is adjustable and flexible to move that tooth back into the position it was after you had your treatment with braces. If this does not work, then go to inivsalign express. Remember, what ever procedure you choose, me mindful if you want to keep your teeth straight and not move, you must wear your retainers for the rest of your life or they will eventually migrate back to where they came from! This goes for invisalign and vivera retainers as well as regular retainers that you stopped using after successful movement with braces. Good luck on that one tooth!

Answer: Invisalign express works for moving one tooth.
Yes, Invisalign should work to move one tooth provided there is a reasonable amount of space to move it in to. It is also possible that a flexible, adjustable retainer could accomplish the correction. Your orthodontist will be able to answer this question at an initial consultation.
