Is there a quick fix for my one crooked teeth?

I've had braces and after I had them removed, one of my teeth eventually became really crooked and it's right in the front of my smile too! I really don't want to go through braces again and invisaline isn't an option because I go to college far from my house and know I won't be able to go to all the frequent checkups and get my teeth remolded. Also, my parents want me to go back to my orthodontist because they say my teeth being straight is suppose to be a garuntee, but I know my orthodonist will just get pissy because I didn't wear my retainer for more than a couple months after my braces.

Is there a quick fix for my one crooked teeth?
there is no guarantee from an orthodontist, you were supposed to do your part of the deal and wear your retainer, unfortunately i think your only option know is to get braces again, its the only way to fix that
Reply:Lumineers is a possibility. It is laminated over the teeth. Ask a cosmetic dentist about it.
Reply:If u dont want crooked teeth 4 da rest of ur lyfe u better do something but if I waz u I would get da braces angain and WEAR THE RETAINER!!!!!!!!!!!


(I mean at least u can get braces now i know imma need)
Reply:Sometimes a retainer can correct a minor problem. I am currently wearing a retainer with springs (4 wires that push my teeth closer together). I take it out for work (when on the phone or in front of a class) and wear it all day and night otherwise. I also have a more traditional retainer on the bottom, although it is "active" pushing my teeth back.





The good news is that your teeth are still loose, which means that they are ready to move in positive direction also.





I don't agree with your parents about a "guarantee", but I do think that you should go to your orthodontist because he/she already knows your teeth!





I don't think Invisalign is out of the question. The visits are no more frequent than braces--you get a full course of treatment charted after you first eval, not through a ton of impressions like some people say. I looked into it, but it is very expensive, even for a short course of treatment (6months or less for $3600).





BTW the ortho sees patients who forget to use their retainer all the time. That's what keeps them in business!!! The sooner you get in the more likely it can be fixed without new braces.
