See an orthodontist first. Have a candid conversation that not ll of you needs may be met. However, there is a significant improvement. Its setting up the situation os that the restorative dentist, the prosthodontist, can finalize the case, and make it even better with conservative restorative veneers,.Hope that helps, as with all information on the internet, check you local doctor before pursuing information.Thanks,D=Dr. ace

Your soft tissue or gum line is uneven giving the appearance of the tooth looking bigger its the gum line. This can be corrected with periodontal surgery or orthodontic treatment good luck

Your gums look swolllen. I would recommend a full check up with your dentist. After the swelling has gone down you could consider crown lengthening/smile lift to even out the gum levels and improve the symmetry of your smile.

A periodontist should be able to help you with that.  Its quite common and totally fixable
