Hey Guys!

I have a rotated second premolar(first pic) which I want to align along with other open spaces. Also, can my midline be changed? It doesnt match my bottom teeth. I am thinking of getting lingual braces. Would they be fine?

Thanks

Only an ortho can answer whether or not you are a candidate for lingual braces and exactly what they can do but I would guess that they can definitely rotate the molar (I have a few that are being rotated) and line up and close the midline.

Only an orthodontist can tell you whether or not you are a candidate for lingual braces. As for the rest I don't see why it can't be fixed, or at least improved, by braces. Seen teeth much worse than yours fixed up. Make an appointment with an orthodontist (or 2 or 3...) and see what they think.

Possibly - but you need to see an orthodontist. My midline also doesn't line up but it is due to a skeletal asymmetry in my upper jaw/face. I'd need surgery to change it and I''ve refused it. It should certainly be possible to rotate the premolar and close spaces but what kind of braces will suite you best, can only be determined by an ortho.
