Default suitability for treatment

Hi,

I have one protruding front tooth which is only half real - I knocked half the tooth out when I was a child and the dentist moulded some kind of paste in his hand to the shape of my tooth and, as far as I remember, basically stuck it on! I can feel the join at the back of the tooth but not at the front.

With this in mind, I was wondering if the inman aligner would be able to straighten it for me?

Many thanks.

Hi

Very difficult to say without looking the amount of protrusion, but it is possible. Inman alligner works great for a number of cases where there is minimal crowding in the anterior region.

Thank you for your reply.

I understand that without a consultation it is hard to say for sure, but am I right in concluding from your reply, that the fact that the tooth is not all real will not affect it's suitability for the inman aligner?

Hi

Again difficult to say, but if enough tooth substance is there , then it is possible.
