What Are My Options for Replacing Missing Lateral Incisors?

ChemE88
Missing lateral insicors,teeth have shifted a little after having braces removed and I may not have enough room for implants. I would also like my 2 front teeth & cuspids to be larger and more evenly shaped. Mini implants plus veneers/bonding OR Bridge/crowns best option? I would like to get rid of my partial and restore my smile before my wedding in 9mnths. If implants are indeed a possibility, what "temporary fixes" can be done to improve esthetics and are also economical? Bonded bridge?
