How to fix flared nostrils and downward pointing nose when I smile? (photos)

sks210
I've always been self conscious and hated my smile/face. There are many things I'm working now. I'm halfway done my Invisalign. I'm working out to lose weight in my cheeks and neck. However, when I smile, my nostrils flare out and the tip of my nose pulls down to a point. The tip of my nose pulls down too close to my upper lip when I smile. I also have a deviated septum and would like some minor changes to reduce the curve on the bridge of my nose- but not sure about how that works.
