Options to fix one incisor that never grew in? (photo)

Question

I had braces as a teenager but I had one incisor that never grew in so my center alignment is a bit off. I have done research looking for solutions but I would like to know if there is any way I can get a good smile without surgery. I am missing an incisor but all of my teeth are pretty tight together. There is no gap for an implant so I suppose what I’m asking is there a way to get a smile with all of the teeth with my current situation? I would like a perfect smile with a nice alignment.

Of course,it is possible a prebless laminated veneers can be made to you. You don't need to have surgery for this.

braces or smile makeover

you have two options,the best one is to do braces and to bring that bite to a correct position,the situation is that at the end you will have a good oclusion,but you will still have the same teeth,with the same shape,size and color,and it will take up to 1 year aprox.now if you do not want to have braces or having braces is not part of your plans,

you can have a different alternative solution,which is Smilemakeover,where you will be having a full mouth change  in just a couple of days and change your life!,and you will certainly will have also good results with several techniques involved,and you will be changing shape,size and color.

You do have options to create a better aligned, symmetrical smile with a better midline.  This case would involve 2 phases. First clear aligners to widen the arch some, and move the midline closer to ideal . After that, then veneers on 6-10 upper teeth. A natural beautiful symmetrical smile will be the result
