Question:
Crowns cause Shifting? Can a poor fitting crown cause other teeth to move?

After a new crown was placed on an upper molar, I have noticed a change in my second to the front tooth on that side. The tooth is turning sideways. ...Visitor from NJ

Answer:
A poorly fitting or poorly contoured crown could cause adjacent or opposing teeth to shift in position.

It is unlikely, although anything's possible, that a tooth several teeth forward would drift or rotate.
