Q. I feel I have a slight over bite and my teeth are a bit crowded towards the lower front. However my concern is my front lower tooth.( I think its 24/central incisor)Its overlapping. What sort of treatment would you recommend since it is a minor concern being just one tooth.

A. Orthodontics would be the best way to correct the crooked teeth.  You have a number of options if the crowding is very mild and only located to the front 4 teeth you could have an Inman Aligner.  This is typically quite quick and can align your teeth.  Invisalign or fixed metal braces would be a more ideal option as it would be a more comprehensive treatment.  My advice you be to find an orthodontist or dentist that does orthodontics and have a consultation.
