How can I treat the front tooth being lower than other teeth?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

One of my front teeth is lower than the other and my orthodontist told me I am getting my braces off tomorrow. What should I do?

Answered by Dr. Tooba Qazi

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please ask your dentist to take this into consideration. If there is only 0.5 mm difference or very negligible then ask him to level it off by slicing the tooth a bit. But if it is prominently below the level of occlusion then he must reposition the bracket and give it some time like two weeks or a month more to intrude the tooth and then give you fix retainer after it. Discuss it properly with the dentist before removal. Stay happy and blessed. Take care.
