Functional Orthodont: I am sure the tooth isn't crooked because it is too fat. Look into oral functional orthepedics to evaluate his narrow dental arches and postural problems. Any allergies? What about his tongue position when he swallows?

See Dentist: If it is a single tooth you may be able to do an activated retainer to correct the prob depending on age and complexity. It may also need more comprehensive treatment such as braces to correct.

See Orthodontist: If you see 1 crooked tooth, there are probably other problems as well. There's no pill to take, no simple part=time gadget. Sounds like your son needs orthodontic treatment. See an orthodontic specialist...Most do no-charge initial examinations. An orthodontist can answer all your questions and allow you to then make an informed decision about the options available to your son.

Front incisor malocc: Your son would best be helped by an evaluation from an orthodontist. A front tooth that is crooked as well as a malocclusion could be an underlying problem that cannot be visually seen but evaluated by taking an x-ray by an orthodontist.

Crooked Teeth: Hi, the answer is see an orthodontist. Make sure you visit a orthodontist for an exam. I say this because many dentist dabble in doing ortho treatment but are not orthodontists. Ask are you an orthodontist ? Orthodontist do orthodontic exclusively, do not clean, fill or crown teeth. To be an orthodontist it is an additional 3 years of orthodontic training, after 4 years of dental school.
