My lateral incisor teeth has grown behind my bottom central incisors - what is best procedure to fix my teeth?

qurratuainJul 27, 2023
Hello, I've got some bad braces work as a child. My lateral incisor teeth has grown behind my bottom central incisors. So they made space by taking out the central incisors and then pushed the lateral incisors to its place. They didn't even give me any retainer after so throughout years it created major midline misalignment that even when my mouth is closed the jaw looks misaligned. I'm wondering about what is best procedure for it. Invisalign? Veneer? A combination of both? Or something else?
