just got involved in car accident yesterday. Long story short my mouth is injured and one of my front teeth (central incisor) is slightly pushed inward. Not so obvious from the front but you can see it's crooked from the side when I'm smiling. Is there anything that the dentist can do to my teeth so that they become even again?

is it shaky? or slight movable? if it is means there might be a fracture on the bone holding the tooth, could be complete or incomplete,

if its movable, you can should go to a dental clinic straight away and get the teeth pushed back into position and the dentist can use wires to support that tooth back in proper position and allow it to heal that way.

but chances a proper x-ray should be taken to see the extent of the injury.

It's shaky. So got chance to put it back in place? How much would it cost approximately?

Yes, you can still move it back in place. then dentist can bond the tooth with other tooth using wires to hold it in place. Some like casting your arm or leg to allow it to heal at the right place.

But do it like first thing in the morning tmr if possible.. bone around tooth heal very fast and once its fixed.. its gonna be hard to move it back

I think somewhere around 250 would be a fair price. Future checks x ray etc may cost more.

Be do note that a tooth subject to trauma like that, theres a chance it may die, may discolor, might need a root canal in future.

Just met the dentist today. The dentist did an xray and found that there is no crack so that's good. He then adjusted my teeth back into its place. Also advised me to see him again next month for follow up.
