Do I need a brace or retainer if my front tooth has moved slightly?

Q.
I had a filling done on a premolar in august. afterward my bite was not right so i went back and had a bit filed off of it. it was still not quite right but much better than before and became more comfortable. however now my front tooth on the same side as the filling is twisting forward slightly. it has always been slightly in front of my other front tooth but definitely moving further forward. my tooth is not wobbly but i can feel it move slightly if i press my tongue against it. i think the filling has caused my teeth to sit wrong and therefore push this tooth out a bit.

will a further filing of the filling be sufficient to get the front tooth back in place/stop it getting worse? or do you think i might need a brace or retainer?

A.
Go back and see your dentist it could just be a coincidence that you feel your tooth has moved.
