My mandibular canine is shifting a bit can you advice on it?

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Q.
Hi Dr. Patel, I have a permanent retainer on my mandibular incisors for about 6 months now. Past 2 weeks I am noticing that my left mandibular canine is shifting a bit when my tongue puts slight pressure on it. This canine is the last tooth the retainer is attached to… I am worried about why this canine is not stable as my other teeth, and why is feels so loose.

I am a dental hygiene student age 19

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Q.

My teeth are crooked can anything be done to my incisors or canines.

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Q.
When i was 11 i had a brace, it was,to pull my 4 top incisors out as they were not curved, but straight, making my canines look like fangs.This was a removable brace, with an extra piece at night that went round my head.Anyway, it didnt work and nothing else was done, i dont know why. It has bothered me ever since. i am almost 40 now, and i put my hand over my mouth when i laugh and try not to show my teeth.
