My labial frenum is off center. Can this be fixed? (photos)

Question

My labial frenum is off center and lines up over my front right tooth instead of between my teeth and it makes my whole upper lip sit off center. Can the labial frenum be centered and would the make my lip also be centered? (Pictures attached)

Although it may not be very visible, middle of Cupid's bow seem to be out of line with columella and tooth crease. Correction of separation between teeth may be one of the solution; possibly moving lip/frenulum's insertion. In person consultation with good dentist and board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

The labial frenum is usually at the center of the upper lip.  If the fremum has a low attachment it can create at space between the upper two teeth or prevent the closure of a gap with orthodontics.  Based on your photos it appears your teeth are off midline to the left.  This could be corrected with orthodontics and would likely resolve your soft tissue concerns.
