im living in korea and my top teeth has moved forward due to my wisdom tooth can you advise
Q. Hi, i am living in korea and visited the dentist here in order to ask about my tooth, its one of my top lateral teeth that has moved forward and towards my front teeth. The dentist said it was due to my wisdom teeth coming in, although i have all my wisdom teeth now. ihe advised me that i could either get a crwon put on that one tooth to make it straight or get my wisdom teeth out!! would a crown look obvious that it was fake? or would my tooth maybe straighten back to where it was if my wisdom tooth was taken out? im not sure which to go for and the language barrier is not helping as we discuss it all through a translator who ddoes not know much english either!!! thank you
A. Placing a crown is an option but I feel it is very agressive, once that tooth is cut down it will always need more treatment in the future. I would much rather you had orthodontics to straighten your natural teeth as it would have much better long term success and look better. You can email me photos of your teeth if you need more help. If your current tooth sticks out, a lot of it would have to be removed to make it look straight and the new tooth would appear much thinner which will not not look as nice.
