Without an exam it's difficult to give you ideal treatment. Usually, straight teeth are accomplished by orthodontic treatment. If you want them to be whiter, you can look into teeth whitening options at your dental office. If your teeth don't become as white as you would like them to, another option would be to do porcelain veneers to get them whiter than a professional teeth whitening visit.
Hi:Depending on how white your teeth to be, you have two main options:1. Invisalign and whitening2. Porcelain veneers to make your teeth whiter beyond what can be accomplished by whitening.Best,Dr. Maddahi
Usually crooked teeth are straightened with orthodontic treatment and yellow teeth are whitened with a whitening procedure. From the limited information I see in your photo, it looks like porcelain veneers could both whiten and give your teeth a straight appearance. You may still need orthodontic correction before any veneers are done. You should go visit an experienced cosmetic dentist for an evaluation.
Braces, teeth whitening, or cosmetic veneers will help you achieve the best results. It's difficult to see your teeth in this photo, so please see a dentist for a cosmetic consultation.

Hi:It's best for your dentist to evaluate the area around the brackets to see if it is stain or cavity. If stain then it can most likely to polished off, if cavity it has to be handled right away before it grows any bigger or deeper.Best,Dr. Maddahi
A porcelain veneer or crown is your best option. Whitening will not work on the bonding and since the tooth has had a root canal it would be best to cover the tooth with porcelain. It is weaker since it no longer has nerves.
Hi:Most of the whitening systems have moved away from over night whitening. It is now 30 mins to one hour each time to prevent sensitivity.Best,Dr. Maddahi
