Classification for orthodontics

It is very difficult to diagnose a case from photos. I believe you are probably a class I, upper spacing case. You should see an orthodontist for a consult. In my office consults are free and include photos and an X-ray. Good Luck!

How hard am I

Based solely on your photos, assuming there are no underlying issues, Very easy!!. Yeah!!!
