Is it possible to surgically move a tooth from one spot to another?!


Question: My teeth are pretty straight except for one tooth that's really out of place.. I just want to know if it's possible to surgically move a tooth to its right spot.. And if it is possible, what is the price range?

and also would it still be just as strong after it heals?

well... it depends. maybe the best option would be orthodontics. braces always solve that problem and it takes around 18months maximum. its also possible to remove and insert but this will take a while to get strong and you also need some sort of retainers so the tooth wont fall out on the adjustement period.

It's been done, but unfortunately lots of root canals were need when the teeth were move due to nerve damage.
