If a tooth is actually rotated, crowded, or pushed forward, tooth reshaping won’t straighten it. You’d be changing the surface while leaving the underlying position exactly where it is.<\/p>\r\n
If your tooth is only slightly crooked because of its shape, yes. It’s a simple option that can make a surprisingly noticeable difference.<\/p>\r\n
