Congenitally missing lateral incisors and want to have my smile fixed without braces or implants? What are my options? (Photo)

ashlichenel
I am an 18 year old female and i have missing lateral incisors. There is spacing between my central incisors, canines, and premolars. And i also have a baby canine tooth on the left side right next to my actuall canine that never fell out. I really want to finally fix my smile but dont want to have to wear braces to get implants. Are there other options for me like bridges or veneers that can fix my smile? Or is it possible to just pull the upper five teeth and replace them cosmetically?
