Can I request to have crooked tooth "straightened" when built back up, after a root canal?

Asked By:cjrs1970 in Los Angeles, CA

The tooth that needs work is very rotated. Since it will likely be filed way down, and then built back up to place a crown, could the dentist shape it to be more straight?
