Can I remove my upper right canine tooth? Or is there any other way to bring it down/fix it without braces? (Photo)

Asked By:Mariam04 in Dallas, TX

My right canine tooth is very up high in my gums and it is very visible even when I just slightly open my mouth. I have no money for braces and decide to just extract it to spare me the embarrassment. There is not much space for it anyways. Is it a good idea? or would it have bad impact on my face and mouth? Is there any other way?
