It may be that he/she is making something called a split trutain (in the UK).

Your Orthodontist may get the dental lab to "reposition" this tooth on your model and then make a retainer to go over this new model. When this retainer is fitted to you, it should (assuming there is space) push your tooth back into line as it is on the new model.

However, like I say to all my patients "if you aren't sure ask me". So I'd say ask your orthodontist if you don't know what's happening.

Good luck and wear your retainers!!

i dont get it. but its prob a good idea to wear your retainer.
