Hello, I have a slightly unusual question: my upper right lateral incisor is crooked or set back because there is not enough space between the central incisor and canine.

Dear Sir/Madam! Orthodontic treatment, i.e. braces, is certainly the first and best choice. I also advise against grinding the tooth, but ultimately the decision is yours. It might be worth trying a ceramic veneer. Have a nice day!
