Anyone care to shed some light? I’m only a couple of weeks into using the app, and trying to navigate how to set a goal for myself!

If a front tooth needing extraction/RTC (+ a crown) currently sits slightly further back than the opposite front tooth, is it usually possible to improve the alignment with an implant/crown so the two front teeth match better? As in, once they ‘redo’ the problem tooth (circled), can the new ‘tooth’ be placed more inline with the other front tooth?

Photo for reference.

The image with the 1 is the unaffected side (left), the area circled is the affected side (right).

Some context: I bit down on a fork too hard on March 16th and RCT was advised with a follow-up appointment in three weeks time to check it and decide on the final course of treatment. I’m really starting to question whether RCT is necessary.

I was experiencing intermittent sensitivity/mild toothache, which was annoying but not severe. This now seems to have developed into facial pain (subtle burning/electric zaps), headaches, ear pressure/soreness and what feels like inflammation all on the same side as the tooth that was hit (right).

The symptoms seem very much in line with TMJ/sinusitis, but I’m really concerned about the possibility of trigeminal neuralgia... I have this little patch just below the temple that’s burning, and it seems to have developed a rash of some kind.

I can eat/drink just fine, but my lymph nodes felt slightly swollen over the past few days and my throat is also quite inflamed, with the right side feeling particularly off/sore. Anyone have any suggestions for what could be causing this and advice for the next best steps?

I want to preface this by giving some context which I believe could be relevant, but I am more than aware that no one here is a dentist.

I'm experiencing intermittent sensitivity/mild toothache, which is annoying but not severe. The most uncomfortable symptoms are the random facial pains, headaches, ear pressure/soreness and what feels like subtle jaw inflammation all on the same side as the problematic tooth (right). The symptoms are very much in line with TMJ/sinusitis, but I'm really concerned about the possibility of an infection.

I can eat/drink just fine, but my lymph nodes are definitely slightly swollen and as you can see my tonsils are very inflamed with the right side feeling particularly sore. Does anyone have any suggestions for what could be causing this and can advise on the next best steps?
