Crooked lateral incisor teeth, what to do?

Many options: Depending on the strength and health of the tooth (previous restorations, etc.) you have a choice to make. If the tooth can be rotated back to a straight position, then go with braces. If braces are not an option, then consider a veneer or crown to give the tooth a straighter appearance. Ultimately, you should consult with a dentist to find the option best suited to address your needs.

Straighten them: If laterals crooked, usually means there are other occlusal problems. Talk to Orthodontist about correcting your malocclusion, & talk to your Dentist about reshaping. Sometimes best result when both are done.
