My lateral incisors are sticking out. How can I fix it? (Photos)

Question

I’ve had braces for two years to correct a severe overbite (my tongue kept pushing my teeth forward), a gap in my front teeth and canines teeth that were too high. I’m now wearing permanent retainers. Unfortunately, my lateral incisors are still sticking out a little (as you can see from the pictures). I’d like to have a more harmonious smile, what are some options? Can this be easily fixed? Thank you!

Thanks for sending this question. Based on a limited assessment, it may be ideal to use clear aligners, such as invisalign which are very esthetic and almost invisible to correct the issues. Please make sure to visit a provider who is very experienced with Invisalign.All the best,

Hi, thank you for posting your photos here. Though they show your problem but are not complete as we can't see them in arch. A photo from biting surface would show the possibilities of correction . You could have them rotated bodily with distal surface tucked in. It is possible to correct this with any form of braces.
