Persistent front tooth pain



I've got pain in one of my top front anterior teeth. It comes and goes,
but I've noticed a correlation with my teeth shifting, which has taken
place within the last year. I've got an overbite and have had issues a
long time ago with something like TMD; e.g. my jaw was locked for a few
hours--but this was about seven years ago.

I've been to an Endodontist who said the root is fine. I've been to a
TMJ specialist who said I don't have any problems with my joints. He
recommened seeing an Orthodontist. The Orthodontist didn't have much to
say in regards to the pain. My question is: Do any of you dentists out
there know if my shifting teeth could be putting pressure on this
tooth, causing the pain? And if so, will ortho do any good at curing
the pain?

Thank you,

Brandon Schultz
