I’m 21 years old and I definitely dont want any braces

Q. Hey, I’m 21 years old and I definitely dont want any braces. But, I have this one tooth between my incisor and canine which is completely crooked. It looks like I have a gap in my top half set, and then when you look close enough there is a tooth sitting at a 45 degree angle between two other teeth. Do you think if I had my widsom tooth in the top right corner of my mouth removed, my crooked tooth would straighten up? And if so, how long would it take? Thanks

A. It is very difficult to give you an answer without seeing you.  It is highly unlikely removal of a wisdom tooth would cause your teeth to straighten naturally.  Orthodontics can now be done in a number of ways and is probably the best way to straighten your teeth.
