Q.
Hello Dr. Moore. At first I would like to thank you for your time! In brief, I’m an 18 year old female and I have a problem with one of my upper canine teeth. My right upper canine took a very long time to come in after my baby tooth fell out; it began growing around age 16. Now, two and a half years later, it seems to be grown, however, it sits much higher in my jaw than all other teeth. I’m definitely ready to bring it down! However, I do not need/want braces as my other teeth are straight so I’m looking for a procedure that focuses on this tooth only. Any suggestions on what can be done? The time frame? And the approximate cost? Here is my tooth: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/iheartmelots/id123.jpg Please help me!! Again, I appreciate your time and thank you so much in advance!!,
