Extra tooth in lower jaw
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?

Get an xray done to check its position and consult at the clinic. After xray it can be evaluated so as to what has to be done.
