Can my tooth be pushed back without the need for braces?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Q.
I have one tooth that is very very very slightly pushed back. I am positive it is from being elbowed in the mouth about a month ago during basketball practice. Is there any way it can be pushed back into place without braces? As in could it be fixed just like having wisdoms taken out, which is maybe being put out and them fixing it? I would appreciate any advice. I am 17 years old by the way. I know I shouldnt worry about it much but I see all my friends with perfect teeth. I also have a small gap between my two front teeth but I will leave that up to my dentist to decide on. My pushed back tooth also aches sometimes. Thank you so much.,
