4 teeth pointing inwards on on side?

[Acoustic]

4 teeth on my left side are pointed inward. I believe it was caused from me chewing only on my right side for a good 8 years. For whatever reason I developed this habit when I was young, and it has caused some issues later in life. I've been chewing on my left side for a good 8 months and my jaw has shifted back over and is pretty straight. My teeth on my left side are also starting to wear down to where they are even with my other side. The only issue is I don't think those 4 teeth are gonna tilt the other way on their own. Any recommendations? Just kinda want a general idea of what to expect before I make an appointment.

If you're considering getting braces or Invisalign to straighten up those teeth, by all means book a consultation (or two, or three) with a local orthodontist. In the US these consults are usually free.

Uprighting teeth is something commonly achieved in orthodontic treatment, although obviously no one on the internet can meaningfully speculate about your particular case. The orthodontist will ask you about your concerns, he will take X-rays and examine your teeth, and then he will explain a range of possible treatment options with pricing.

I would just warn you that if you have bigger-picture bite or jaw issues going on (it sounds like you might), the ortho will probably address those in terms that might be bigger than you were expecting -- and he might help you see that it's worth addressing those issues and not just straightening teeth. But ultimately it will be up to you to decide how extensive a treatment you wish to pursue.

All the places aroound here are booked a month out. So in the mean time, I do need suggestions on what could be done.

Many offices close or sharply reduce their hours during the Christmas holidays so that is totally understandable. But it does not change the fact that no one on the internet can design a treatment plan for you that is in any way meaningful, sorry.

I don't think there's any options out there besides braces for such an issue, if they are booked so far ahead, all the more reason to make consultation appointments soon, that way you can start going to them and start treatment earlier, especially if there's any debate what should be in your treatment plan or you have certain demands some orthodontists don't want to meet (as they have different approaches to different problems, what one orthodontist might put in your treatment plan, one may avoid).

There's also a chance one or two of the better ones might be busy like you are experiencing on a more regular basis, so another reason to make the consultation appointments as soon as possible
