    hieveryone, In my 30's my lower front tooth started to move. I had already had my wisdom teeth out ages before and never had to have a brace when I was younger.

    My then Dentist who also did orthodontics fitted me with a train track brace and bands and successfully straightened it. When the brace came off within 2 weeks the tooth started moving again and I was told that unfortunately it was just the will of that particular tooth.

    Now I have a permanent wire at the back of my lower set of front teeth and that has done the trick - I am very pleased. It was worth the money to 'turn' the tooth as eventually the dentist said it would twist all the way around.

    I didn't want to leave it and end up losing the tooth and have to find a way to fill in the gap. :eek:
