Question: I was hit in the mouth causing my teeth to shift, how would a dentist fix this?
Answers:
A retainer as stated in another answer will not move teeth but only retains them. There is an appliance similar to a retainer with a small finger spring behind your tooth that is set back. The spring can push the tooth forward if it is not locked in behind them. You would need a dentist or even better, an orthodontist to look at it though and give you your options.

Your dentist would probably refer you to an orthrodontist and you may get a temporary retainer to wear for a few months until the minor problem is fixed. Sorry about your accident! =\
