My top left canine tooth is a bit too far up in front and sometimes when I close my mouth or something I bite down on my lip and it hurts. Also my bottom tooth on the left side of my right canine it's crooked and hurts sometimes .. Half of it is behind the tooth to the left of it and the other half is moving a bit up more in front .. Would I need to get braces for just these two things ??
