Is there a way to move just one tooth without braces? my bottom tooth slams into the side of my top tooth and causes it to be sore on the side. dentist shaved some off but doesn't want to do anymore.

See an orthodontist: If you don't want braces an alternative would be Invisalign which are removable appliances used to move the teeth.

Possibly: But truthfully, if the tooth in question needs to be moved and there are other teeth in the way, then you'll have to have more than one tooth moved. Why not get a consultation with a local orthodontist, someone who can actually examine you and provide treatment options?

All teeth in balance: Catherine, your teeth lie in the neutral zone where the balance of forces from the lips and the cheeks equal the pressure of the tongue pushing out, and the teeth are drawn together by the crestal fibers which contract. That misaligned tooth needs to be moved as part of an orchestrated plan to correct all the teeth so that it has the space to be in the right place. See and orthodontist. Please.

No: you can not move one single tooth. Your problem sounds like you have too much overbite. Grinding that tooth too much will make that tooth very sensitive and painful. Good luck

Depends: Depending on the spacing, it is usually possible to move a tooth with removable appliances.

Problem tooth: The answer to your problem may be simple or complicated & the internet is not the best place to get a proper evaluation nor to discuss your treatment options. You should understand the problem, what your alternatives are along with the pros and cons of each. It is always best to seek a long term healthy and stable solution that to look for an easy fix or no resolution at all. Make a wise decision.

No: Most often the tooth is in bad position because those around it have moved. Some kind of braces are needed to fix it.

Yes, Aligner: However, the only person who can tell you what your treatment options are when it comes to teeth movement is your orthodontist. Schedule an appointment for consultation.

See orthodontist: Speak with an orthodontist re tooth movement. It may be more prudent to seek orthodontic help rather than destroy tooth structure, which can not be replaced.

Perhaps: Know that when one tooth is out of position, usually many other teeth have shifted. To move a tooth you need the room to move it, adequate bone support, a stable post=movement relationship, and an appliance to affect the movement. Braces are still the gold standard, best bang for your buck, but there are compromise solutions available. Seek consultation with a qualified Orthodontic Specialist.

Misaligned tooth: One single tooth may be moved with braces or reshaped with a crown or bonding. However that tooth is connected to the rest of your teeth and they need to be considered also. You need to have you bite evaluated and find out exactly where the problem is and treat the whole mouth for a long term stable cosmetic and functional result.

Orthodontic care: there are several techniques for moving just a few teeth. Moving teeth is more complicated than just moving one tooth so this will need a consult with an orthodontist or a GP that does ortho
