See an orthodontist: The goal of orthodontic treatment is a beautiful smile and a good functional bite. Just one crooked or misaligned tooth can throw off the bite and cause functional problem. It could be a supernumerary tooth, semi-impacted tooth, regardless, a variety of treatments are available for your condition. Consulting with the orthodontist is the best way to achieve your treatment goals.

Oral surgeon: Sounds like a wisdom tooth. Not enough room likely. See an oral surgeon will evaluate and make recommendations.

Not necessarily: Treatment depends on which tooth, where it is located, and why it is out of alignment with the other teeth See your dentist or an orthodontist for an examination, diagnosis and recommended treatment.
