Teeth Midlines Off: Good afternoon; Can only offer possibilities concerning your dental concerns. May be an orthodontic problem; tooth movement from a tongue thrust. May be periodontal in nature- shifting from a loss of alveolar bone around these teeth. Perfect time to visit a teacher oriented dentist- contact one for an appointment!

Teeth midline: We cannot make a diagnosis without more information, a dental history, and a clinical and visual exam. See an orthodontist to make a determination of why, and what treatment would be recommended.

Migration: Teeth move. The more significant your malocclusion, the more they are liable to shift. To resolve your midline deviation, and the other findings that allowed your midline to shift, see a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist.
