You appear to have a deep overbite which is the result of a narrow upper jaw. This can be from the narrow upper jaw 'trapping' the lower jaw into a recessed position. Your upper jaw can be orthopedically expanded to match the lower jaw width. Work with an orthodontist/dentist who understands how to do this as many traditional orthodontists will recommend removing upper teeth to correct your overbite. This is a mistake as the lower jaw remains recessed which could lead to adverse health problems such as TMJ dysfunction, Obstructive Sleep Apnea and even spinal alignment. Good luck to you.
I highly recommend you go and see a dentist and have a full mouth x-ray taken. This will determine where the teeth either side of your two front teeth (where the gaps are) are positioned. These teeth are called lateral incisors and they should have come through by this age. So it might be that...
BEFORE extracting any teeth, or putting any braces on your teeth ask your orthodontist what the effects of extracting teeth will have on facial aesthetics, airway health and TMJ health. If he/she does not have very concise answers that make sense DO NOT extract any teeth and do NOT have braces...
I am unsure why you have pressure in your ears due to the limited history you presented. Are you wearing a night guard because of a TMJ (jaw joint issue) or because you grind your teeth at night? Based on your photos, you don't need to have teeth removed...I would get a second opinion
