Can aligners turn just one tooth?+
They can align rotated teeth, although your dentist will need to examine your mouth to know how much else must move. A plan is built around the whole arch and how you bite.
Why would you need to look at all my teeth for one problem?+
A tooth sits within a bite and next to other teeth, and it’s anchored by a root. Each of those affects whether moving it is sensible or even possible.
Would I need an attachment on a turned front tooth?+
Possibly, because these bonded shapes help aligners control rotation. Your dentist can tell you where they’d go and how visible they might be.
Is there something simpler than aligners for one crooked tooth?+
It depends on what’s bothering you. Changes to shape, such as reshaping or bonding, may be worth raising, although these don’t move a tooth. An examination can make the difference clear.
Do I really need a retainer after moving a single tooth?+
Yes. Retainers are part of treatment after aligners because teeth can shift again, and that includes any tooth you’ve had corrected.
