Not good: If 1 tooth appears out of line most often others are also out of line. See an orthodontist to have your occlusion evaluated and your chief complaint addressed. There are a multitude of treatment options available depending on your individual requirement.

Solve your problem!!: An orthodontist can offer you treatment option for straightening one tooth. Usually they will do a consultation for free. What are you waiting for? Call an orthodontist in your area to see what your options are.
