I have a question about a tooth problem.?!
Question: One of my bottom teeth is angled funny. I've always had this problem when I was kid. It's like the tooth is facing my tongue.
So there is a small gap between two teeth. And there is a space where the tooth should be.
I have no insurance and don't have the patience for braces. Plus I hardly smile anyway. How much will it cost to rotate the tooth where it should be?
Or just have it removed and put a fake tooth there?

To be honest, very few people don't have any teeth that aren't turned a little. If the tooth is not bothering you, don't worry about it
too much. You are probably the one that notices it more than anyone else.
I don't know how old you are but you could try having a retainer made. It's much more effective if your bone has't completely finished forming and it's much cheaper than having braces.It can be adjusted slightly every few weeks to cause movement of that tooth without disrupting any of the others since there is a space for it to move into. Having an implant put in will cost more than you're thinking it will so I wouldn't do that. You ought to smile more anyway!!
