Orthodontics to Fix Single Protruding Tooth? (photo)

May 23, 2013
Asked By:di_arteme in New York, NY

I never lost one of my "baby" upper canines. When the adult tooth came in, it came in next to it and now sticks out slightly. I'm satisfied with everything else about my teeth - there's no other crowding or notable misalignment. I don't want it to be perfect - I just want this tooth to stick out less. I still have my wisdom teeth but am missing one molar. Is there a cost-effective and quick way to fix this one tooth? $5K for invisalign seems excessive.
