How Can Teeth Be Aligned?

I had braces which straighten my teeth for awhile and I did wear my retainers. Now one of me tooths are pushing upward out of alignment which makes the bottom row no longer straight and when I talk you can see that one tooth sticking out. What can I do to make it back aligned ? Is there a way to cut it down or something

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

If your teeth are loosing alignment after removing braces and also discontinuing retainers then it is an indication that the bracs are removed too early and the teeth have not been adapted to the newly moved place in the jaw and for correction of the same you need to get your retainers again and wear them..

At times retainers needs to be permanently placed to prevent loss of alignment of teeth..

So better to consult an Orthodontist and get evaluated..

Cutting down the tooth or grinding it can simply make tooth sensitive and painful and there can be damaged and loss of tooth..
So the best way is to get removal appliances followed by retainers for maintenance of alignment of teeth..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
