Front teeth slightly off centre. Can they be fixed? (Photo)

Mich1980Sep 4, 2014
My front teeth are slightly off centre - probably by no more than a couple of millimetres, but it's noticeable on photos and camera which is an issue for my work. I'm keen to get this fixed but not keen on the idea of years of fixed braces! I do have one more tooth on one side of my mouth so not sure if that helps / hinders. Can I get this fixed by getting them capped? Or would Invisalign / braces be nessecary?

You may find that the retainer takes a little more effort to go in, as you may have had a slight shift but not adversely where wearing the retainer will not be possible.  I would to sweat it.  Good luck

There is no discussion about options for taking care of a child's broken tooth for many reasons. Doing a nice conservative filling with tooth colored plastic(bonding) is perfect. Eventually you will need to redo the bonding but you may also want to whiten and other care once they grow up....

Unfortunately there is not much to do unless you perform porcelain veneers, but need also to know that this option requires the teeth to be shaved down, so you can put veneers on top. But this would be the only way to close those gaps.we can change shape size and color. Hope this helps.
