Should I My Tooth Be Realigned To The Central Line Of My Face?

Q.
I am 16 years old student residing in Saudi Arabia.
It has been 1yr and 3 months
since i got my braces. I had extraction of 3 teeth ,1 incisor in the upper left jaw and the 2 incisors in the lower jaw.

After filling the gaps, the dentist now says that my front tooth is not in alignment with the central line of my face. He suggests shifting the teeth again. As far as i know, it was in alignment before i got my braces.

My question is, is it necessary that i should get my tooth aligned to the central line of my face??
Will it make any difference if i don’t get it done??

Another thing that keeps bugging me is whether after getting out my braces my right will be straightened for the rest of my life because i have heard many people saying that the teeth returns to its original position after getting off the braces.

A.
Your teeth will want to move after the braces are removed I recommend fixed and removable retainers for life long use please discuss this with your dentist. Centre lines ideally should match for a more pleasing smile but many people have centre lines that are off it rally depends on how you feel. Talk to your dentist and discuss your fears.
