Lateral Incisor Pushed Forward?

Question

What would be the best way to fix a lateral incisor that is pushed quite far forward, and sticks out? I always wanted braces when I was younger but never got them, and now that I'm an adult I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable with braces, although I don't always feel comfortable with my tooth!

Since there is no photo, it is hard to give you a specific answer. Here are some possible solutions. If you have one crowded, misplaced tooth then you probably have more. True metal braces would be the ideal solution since more precise movements can be done and the entire bite can be improved if you see a neuromuscular dentist who practices orthodontics. There are also ways to move the teeth with clear braces such as Bioliner Plus and Invisalign. In addition if the tooth is not too far forward a veneer might be used. It is best to see a cosmetic dentist that practices orthodontics.
