Hi,
   I'm 21 years old and i keep my teeth in good condition but it's just my right lateral incisor tooth is crooked it's behind my lower teeth and i'd like to know if i am too old to correct this?

That's good to hear also you couldn't give me a estimate on how long it would take to correct?

I am not a Orthodontist but do work as an assistant. Depending on which type of treatment you need it can be anywhere from as little as 6 months to three years. You should consult an Orthodontist (usually the first consult is free) and choose your options from there. As always, you may want to seek a consultation from more than one Orthodontist to see which one you feel more comfortable with and the best options for you. Don't wait though! A smile is worth a thousand words!!!

It is also possible you may be a candidate for Invisalign (invisable braces) Ask you orthodontist and do it soon. You will never regret having straight teeth! Good luck.
