Not every time: Unless the tooth is erupted into the mouth, it would be quite difficult to determine it's trajectory. Definitive evaluation can be achieved with a cbct scan of the jaws. Consider a practitioner who has that technology available for a complete diagnosis.

Your concern ?: Not sure what your concern is... Is this tooth affecting you in a negative way? A dental radiograph is a two dimensional image of a three dimensional object. It is sometimes difficult to determine all the information you seek from just one image. If the tooth needs extraction, then its angulation will not play a factor in your treatment.
