    Default One tooth that is bugging the hell out of me!

    One tooth that is bugging the hell out of me!

    Okay, a few years ago i had my braces taken off & treatment finished. Since then one of my bottom teeth has moved forwards and outwards. Its now driving me crazy!! and i would like to get it sorted. What i want to know is, is this going to cost me money?. Or if i go see a dentist will he be able to adjust my single tooth for me?. Will i need to have a brace put back on just for a single tooth?

    Thanks.

    Hi

    I would recommend you go back to your your dentist and discuss your options. If you want your tooth moved back then you will require some form of repeat orthodontic treatment,

    Hi there,

    It is always impossible to give an accurate diagnosis from the description or even a photo,
    but Inman Aligners do work well with single teeth that are out of line. Most cases take 6-16 weeks.
    Most ortho techniques can deal with this, but ultimately you need to look at speed, cost and ease of treatment,.

    The chances are that you will need some kind of brace and that you will have to pay for it.
    It is unlikely that the NHS can treat mild crowding cases anymore.
