How long would you need braces for one overlapped tooth ?!


Question: How long would you need braces for one overlapped tooth ?
My left front tooth overlaps the right front tooth but when I look in the mirror they look straight but in photos it's overlapped.

All my other teeth are straight.

If I got braces how long would I have to wait to get them and how long would I need them for?

How much are insalign (invisible braces)? In the UK.

If it's only one tooth, you probably don't need braces. Ask your orthodontist about getting a spring retainer, It will more your tooth in about a week most likely, and you only have to wear it at night :D

Done braces, have retainer, didn't use retainer which involved a tooth shifting quite a bit, my retainer moved it back into place quickly without needing braces again.



If the problem is only at the front teeth you may not need braces afterall.

You should ask your orthodontist about the inman aligner. it's for fixing problem on front teeth with problems like teeth overcrowding (ovelapping of teeth).

It says on the website it takes 6-16 weeks to straighthen teeth and it's also cheaper than regular braces and invisalign.

Check under the providers tab on the website for the orthodontist that provide this. They have it in the UK.
