My Canine Tooth in Front of Other Teeth. How Can They Go Back in the Right Place? (photo)

zemjopisAug 20, 2012
I am 46 years old. Already as a little my canine tooth was a little crooked. As the years go by that tooth protruded more and more ahead of other teeth. Otherwise the tooth is healthy, but it bothered me on the lips and I can not laugh. In what way can it be repaired at the dentist?Thank you in advance.

At your age, I would start with giving it time.  Your body is still in the "growth and development" stage, and may fill in the space all by itself.  If not, the Bioclear Method can really do wonders for black triangles.

Your best option is to see an orthodontist. It sounds like you want a nice smile and are concerned with symmetry. Having all you natural teeth even if they need to be reshaped with bonding or veneers is best. The Dr will do a diagnostic set up for you and show you how your result will look...

Very simply put. The Dr needs to determine if it's a dental it a boney problem. These are treated in different ways. Bone problems should be addressed and corrected as such. Dental issues are treated with braces.Sometime a combo approach is used. This must be decided at the start of treatment....
