ok so my ortho did indeed do the spoon test and it did sound different when tapping on the affected tooth. He said what I can do is start the invisalign treatment and move all of the teethe except for that front one. He then said after treatment we will do a minor procedure on the tooth to allow it to move then put traditional braces on to move that last one into place.
