“Single broken incisor misalignment after braces?”
I've had braces and got them removed just a week ago and It looked alright in the beginning. But less than a week I notice my broken upper left incisor slightly tilted and looks uneven. I'll be getting my retainers and crown fixed to it but would retainers and crown fix it up or will they have to put braces back on?

"Retainer" is for keeping the corrected position. If corrected tooth is tilted (relapsed), it should be corrected again before retainer. Report to your dentist (orthodontist), he/she should know what to do.
The crown and retainers should take care of it...but make sure the new crown looks very closely like the ones next to it...it isn't easy for the dentist to make a crown look just right for a front tooth. The lower incisors need to be perfectly straight or the upper crown can also start to get misaligned again. Wear your retainers!
