Can veneers fix my smile (missing lateral incisors)? (Photo)

TinyLip
I have congenitally missing lateral incisors, 15 yrs ago, I had composite bonding applied to my canines to make them look like incisors. I'd like to get my smile to look more straight and natural, but I really don't want to go through widening the space with braces and putting in implants where the incisor should be. Would veneers be an option? I'm a bit hesitant because I don't want teeth that appear too large for my mouth. Because I'm missing those incisors, my space is already quite narrow.
