Straighten front tooth before crown, or can a crown alone fix it? (Photo)

November 5, 2015
Asked By:bust_tooth in Toronto, ON

What would be the best treatment plan for this tooth with consideration for its best long term health? Post and crown? Straighten then post and crown? ... Top left tooth was broken, had a root canal, and a "temporary" covering for a couple years now. The temporary covering was made against the right tooth for support, but now there is a gap as seen in the photo from below. The tooth has always been shifting. Should I be concerned that this will continue to shift after a crown?
