If only one tooth needs shifting (moved forward) is there a way to do that without wearing braces??
Answers: An orthodontist MAY be able to fix it with a spring retainer. A small spring in a retainer will push the tooth forward and into the correct position.
Some interproximal reduction may be needed. The orthodontist files away a very minimal amount of enamel between the teeth to make them a little more narrow so that there is enough room for the tooth in it's new postion. This procedure is completely safe.
hmm. the best way to tell is to see an orthodontist. i needed braces, and i have them, but one of my teeth had a special brace that pulled it forward. maybe instead of getting braces and that special brace, you'd just get the special one.
i dont think so
SOMETIMES - and I must stress that this is only SOMETIMES - you can simply keep pushing it until it moves. By that, I mean it can be moved over a course of 10-12 weeks' time. I've had people do this with popsicle sticks, but you ought to let a dentist tell you if the tooth is actually supposed to move, whether it will move without consideration for the adjacent teeth and whether this approach is a good idea for you or not.
Yes if it is minor tooth movement, a general dentist can make a type of retainer that puts pressure on the tooth that needs to be moved. He uses filing stripes weekly to file a little off each opposing tooth to make room for the tooth to move back in alignment. Check with your dentist. Some orthodontist can do this also without full braces it depends on the orthodontist.
Ask your Orthodontist about a tooth positioner. It looks like a sports mouth guard you wear a few hours a day, while you do biting exercises, your teeth move.
