From the information you have given us it sounds like you should be able to use Invisalign to correct your malocclusion. After the invisalign to straighten your teeth and correct your bite you may want to use a permanent retainer to keep it in the right position.
You are correct. The mal-positioned lower tooth is forcing the upper tooth into the same malposition. Sounds like Invisalign might be your answer. And then a permanent lingual retainer behind the teeth to keep them from relapsing.
It appears that a removable retainer could possibly be used to close the front space and to move the one tooth back some. This would be the most conservative treatment and the most economical. However, I would advise to do a full, extensive exam with your orthodontist to see if this limited type of treatment would be indicated. As with any type of limited types of treatment, you usually get a limited result....but sometimes the limited result will address the patients chief concern.

Yup...classic injection hematoma. Your blood vessels were disturbed and damaged during your numbing shots. It's not common, but happens to the best dentists in the world. Managing these trauma is a headache. Pressure and time is the best two medicines. Antibiotics...
I've had this same exact complaint from patients in the past. They had so much calculus build up which covered up their spaces between the teeth and recessed gums that once they got their teeth thoroughly cleaned, they blame the hygienist that she took their tooth structure or gum tissues...
The best option for you will be to straighten your teeth with clear braces (Invisalign) of braces with an orthodontist. This will help with the aligment and will help tremendously with biting into your lip. The size of your canine is fine , the angle of the tooth because is misaligned...
Based on your photo, it appears that you have what is technically called a Class II, Division 2 malocclusion. That is generally where your two front teeth "slant in" and the teeth on the sides of these, the lateral incisors, tend to "slant out." While I understand your concerns with aesthetics...
