I am a 31 years old. My lateral incisors are pushed forward, right more than left. I want to straighten my teeth for good oral hygiene. I don't have any issue with eating but i think i have an overbite and would like to correct it as well.What type of braces should i opt for? Will invisalign work for me or standard braces is the way to go? Also are there any other type of removable braces that I can go with. I am a teacher and have to talk alk day.

Molars, with more than one root, are fantastic anchors for moving teeth. As such, moving them much at all is unpredictable. Not impossible, but may not be worth the time and money. It would be better to replace missing teeth with an implant or a bridge.
There are two ways to handle the space. First is to reshape the teeth and have your orthodontist close the space. The second is to bond this area. Either way will work. The space has occurred because you moved the teeth and there is no gum tissue to fill in this space. It isn't a problem unless...
It does appear that a space has opened up between your front teeth. I can understand your disappointment. I suggest asking your orthodontist to close the space and possibly place a fixed retainer to hold those teeth together.
