Very Little information from just this single photo but I suspect you are a perfect candidate for Epigenetic Orthodontics with the DNA Appliance.The DNA Appliance grows your jaws orthopedically and moves teeth orthodontically to idealize the jaw position. Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMO
Jaw surgery (orthognathic or maxillofacial) should be reserved forextreme cases. If you are happy withyour smile, do nothing at this point. Ifyou develop TMJ (jaw joint issues), then seek guidance from a qualifieddentist. If you want to improve yoursmile, orthodontics (traditional or Invisalign) is the answer. Your posterior teeth are tilted inward andexpanding the upper jaw (maxilla) would create room for moving the front teethinto a more aesthetic position. Thisanswer is based on one photograph and no radiographs. Seek a qualified dentist, orthodontist orgeneral dentist for guidance. Andremember, it’s okay to ask questions, it’s your smile, your mouth, and yourhealth!

Hi Chanel, it looks like Invisalign would work very well for you. When you are done, you will feel very confident speaking in public and following your dreams.Warm regards from Cape Town.Dr Clifford Yudelman
