Small midline shift is a common thing fixed with porcelain veneers.  8-10 veneers will allow this correction and maintain or correct proportions and shape.  This can be done in 2-3 weeks in an experienced office.

Great question, and thank you for sharing your photo. Without an in-person exam, I won't be able to completely diagnose you, but here is what I generally tell my patients. Yes, veneers are often used to correct midlines when patients opt out of braces or orthodontic treatment. In your picture, it appears as though veneers may be an appropriate solution to achieve the desired esthetics.  
If you haven't already done so, I would suggest going to a dentist that specializes in veneers. 
Best of luck!

basic issue is with yr arch shape. due to  'V' shaped upper arch front two teeth looks prominent. best option in yr case is arch expansion with braces/ invisalign treatment. that will convert yr smile to hollywood smile.

Yes it is possible to correct midlines with veneers. This would require 8-10 veneers. We need a full face photo to determine how much it needs to be moved over. This may require some of the teeth preparations to be more aggressive with larger shifts.

Hi:Unfortunately, porcelain veneers will not correct the midline. The only choice it’s to move the teeth with braces into the correct place.Best,Dr. Maddahi
