What if only one tooth is crooked?
Even if a single tooth is crooked, other teeth have to be moved to allow that tooth to fit in with the rest. Also, other issues might be there that you are not aware of that need to be fixed by full braces. If it is a simple problem, sometimes we use Invisalign or spring aligner. The best solution is to consult an orthodontist. READ MORE
