Canine Substitution, to go for it, or to not go for it? Currently going for Invisalign to fix gaps. (photo)

Had braces 2.5yrs, took off 9mths. Implant option too exp. I have a malocclusion class 2 so implant = more teeth = more overbite.New dentist told me it's going to be hard to fix my overbite with invisalign since class 2 bite (I dont want braces), I've decided not to care abt that since my smile only shows upper teeth. I REALLY dislike how my canines look.Even if it doesnt look natural aft treatment, it'll at least be better than 2 sharp protruding teeth

Hi, From the posted pictures, your teeth are in good alignment. The asymmetry that you observe is from the unevenly placed gum tissue. A minor laser assisted procedure called gingivoplasty can can recontour your gums to give a perfect smile. Regards
