My left side of my teeth is higher than my right and my lower teeth curves a little higher. I’ve had braces for 4 years and my teeth is straight, and I’m close to get them off. However, Im not happy with my results and I want to get it fix. My ortho tells me to wear my elastics. Is this something braces can fix it or is it because my face is uneven. I see it especially when I take a picture of my teeth and i invert it.

White spots occur because plaque and bacteria has built up around braces : the enamel there has been weakened and the tooth is at risk for a cavity and infection.
1. use high fluoride toothpaste.
if that do not work
2. visit cosmetic dentist for tooth coloured filling/ veneer.
For that cephalometric analysis [skull frontal asymmetry analysis] is must to identify the cause, basis on that one can guide you. Visit orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon.
After seeing your photos below are positive findings:
1. upper and lower arch not symmetric.
2. upper left central incisor tip is not perfect.
3. gummy smile - less crown height.
ideal option in your case is first go for crown lengthening process and after that aligner to align teeth.
