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?

Answer: Can I request to have crooked tooth "straightened" when built back up, after a root canal?
Hello and thank you for your question. More information is need, but in general, porcelain veneers with wrap around could help you. I would consider FIRST additional aligners (what used to be called a refinement) in order to align teeth better AND make your teeth fit better. All the best to you.
It is normal to have a dull ache with a temporary crown. The margins are not sealed properly with a temporary and because of the work that has been done, tooth can be sensitive up to 2 weeks. Always discuss your issues with your dentist before your permanent crown is cemented.
Hello,
After you a Crown it doesn’t have to hurt you also when you bite, so contact your doctor to value it and get solutions. Probably you have to adapt the crown or get a root canal for the sensitive.
Good luck!
