Teeth Shifting
Hi, I am 18yrs old girl. I had perfectly alligned teeth till I was 17+. Recently I have noticed that my upper right canine tooth is shifting inward. And I feel like that it's all cuz of the upper right premolar pushing it forward. Along with that my upper incisors are moving forward and it's getting hard to bite or chew food. My lower canine teeth are also alligned in a weird shape. It was perfect until a year ago. What are the treatments I can opt for to solve this problem?

Hi, u need to remember that at your age wisdom teeth erupt and cause forward pressure on the teeth. If space is deficient then either they get stuck or other teeth go out of alignment. In order to correct the present situation 1. Get digital OPG done- that helps in visualising wisdom teeth 2. Visit a dentist and let him decide whether it requires extraction to pull out wisdoms or braces are required.
Next Steps
get opg done visit a dentist
