A member asked:
Hi docs! what could my dentist do about my 1 crooked tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Move it!: A dentist can do four things for a crooked tooth: 1-ignore it; 2- remove it; 3-restore it ( change it's shape with bonding or a porcelain crown/veneer); or 4- move it with orthodontics. If s/he is trained in orthodontics, it can be done in your dentist's office. If not trained, s/he can refer you to the most competent specialist in your area. Your dentist will know who will care for you best.
