Extra tooth in lower jaw

2024-06-28 14:51:28
I'm having an extra canine tooth in my lower jaw and because of it when I eat food it touches my tongue. Its slightly positioned in an oblique direction and not in a straight row with other teeth since childhood. When I got new permanent teeth. So what should I do to make it parallel with them? And straightening of teeth?
