Best Option for Out-of-place Canine Tooth?

June 24, 2011
Asked By:VMills in Burke, VA

I'm a 21 yr old female who's had braces (and biteplate, spacers, and headgear). See picture. Mostly my teeth are straight, but with a protruding canine. This tooth previously required surgery to force descent. Here’s the rub: I play flute/picc professionally, so I have to have something removable (or tiny), or I may lose my job. I hear Invisalign may not work so well for this; yes/no/other options?
