Are braces only option for misaligned tooth?

Q. My teeth are in fairly good condition with the exception of one tooth which sits back on my bottom row. This causes a shadow and it sometimes looks darker. Is teeth whitening appropriate or will the other teeth seem so white that the shadow will look worse? I realise the answer is probably a brace but at 40 years old I am loathed to do this.,
A. You are right the best option is a brace, systems like Invisalign are very discreet, you are not too old I have patients in their sixties who are wearing invisalign and metal braces!  Tooth whitening may not improve the situation.
