I keep hearing different things about how to solve my problem and don&#8217;t know who to believe. Here&#8217;s my situation.\u00a0The tooth next to my front tooth on the right is crooked and it is in the way back. It&#8217;s really bad. I was wondering\u00a0are braces my only option, or\u00a0will Invisalign work? If I want to pull my crooked tooth, what other treatments are offered?<br \/>\n&#8211; Ken from California<\/p>\n<p>Ken,<br \/>\nGenerally, if you&#8217;re an adult and your teeth are crooked, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/invisalign.htm\">Invisalign<\/a> will work just fine. Or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/porcelainveneers.htm\">porcelain veneers<\/a> can also straighten your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t let anybody pull the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/cosmetic\/crooked_teeth.htm\">crooked tooth<\/a>, but you may have dentists that want to do that. Your smile will never look right with an uneven number of front teeth. Each front tooth is a different shape, and you can get away with doing a lot of things to make them look straight, but one thing that&#8217;s important is to have both halves of your smile be symmetrical, and you can&#8217;t have that with five front teeth instead of six.<\/p>\n<p>And if you need a local dentist, I have tried very hard to find excellent cosmetic dentists all over the country, and feel that you can trust the cosmetic dentists we list on this website. A dentist who is on our list and therefore is\u00a0an excellent cosmetic dentist, if he or she\u00a0is also certified to do Invisalign, they\u00a0should be able to give you the best opinion about which way you should go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dr. Hall<\/p>\n<p>Other links:<br \/>\nClick here to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/referral.htm\">find a cosmetic dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" width=\"728\" bgcolor=\"#A9C5A5\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">We thank our advertisers who help fund this site.<\/font>\n        <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 728;\ngoogle_ad_height = 90;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"728x90_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\";\n\/\/2007-03-26: CosmDent Blog\ngoogle_ad_channel = \"9579159778\";\ngoogle_color_border = \"A9C5A5\";\ngoogle_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_color_link = \"1B703A\";\ngoogle_color_text = \"000000\";\ngoogle_color_url = \"008000\";\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script>\n        <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Hall You have a very interesting site and I really enjoy all the information that I&#8217;ve read.
