Question:
Tooth moves after ortho and creates a gap: I am a 25 year old female.
I had braces when I was younger as well as my palate expander and I wore my retainer for many years after.
About two years ago, one of my front teeth starting moving up in my mouth and now there is a gap in the length of my front teeth. My upper gum is not even either.
I had no trauma to my mouth and I don't know what caused my tooth to start moving. How can this be fixed? ....Visitor from DE
Answer:
It sounds like you may have had some internal resorption at the root of your tooth that has intruded, but an x-ray and dental examination would be needed to confirm this.
Until the reason that your tooth has moved is determined, it is a little hard to go over options on how to correct the situation.
The tooth may be able to be brought back into correct position with a short orthodontic procedure, if it's not fused to the jawbone.
If the tooth is fused to the bone and cannot be brought down, a dental veneer and gum recontouring can be done to match your other tooth.
