Midline is horrific and shifted. How can this be fixed? (photos)

mybestbudsFeb 24, 2016
My midline is so shifted it is obvious to other people. I have a canine still stuck in my gums. I got veneers on my four front upper teeth 15 years ago to try and hide it but it is not. My gums are not the heaviest either. I just got scaling down. My teeth are over crowded and I have an overbite. I just want normal looking teeth. What can I do? Please be specific as I have seen multiple orthodontics and am getting different stories.

A nail file can often help smooth out the rough edge before you can see your dentist so that you don't miss time on wearing it.
