What will be the treatment for my misaligned front teeth?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 25 years and seven months old, and my two front teeth are not aligned. I had a retainer five years ago, but my teeth returned to their original position again. I want the best way to treat them. I will share the pictures; please let me know the solution.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The probable cause for your dental problem is Angle's malocclusion (maybe class II division 1 or 2). Suppose you have done orthodontic treatment and have retainers, and your upper front two teeth are the only concern;

I suggest going for crowns only for that tooth to correct your smile (esthetic treatment). If your function is also affected (meaning chewing), I suggest taking orthodontic treatment and retainers to bring back the malaligned teeth. You might need a dental x-ray (orthopantomogram) for further treatment.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
