I have 2 baby teeth up in the front and the adult tooth for them moved forward. Can veneers go over my baby teeth? (photos)

Question

I know I will need braces or Invisalign but I do not know what to do with my baby teeth and the ones next to them that are misshaped (very pointy) can veneers go over my baby teeth or will I have to go for implants for the baby teeth to replace them? Also are they able to reshape my misshapen teeth or will I need implants for them as well?

From your photos it appears that you are actually missing your lateral incisors and the teeth that are in their place are not actually misshapen but are your canine teeth.  To make sure, I encourage you go to a dentist for X-rays for confirmation. 
One option would be to have some orthodontics done to redistribute the spaces and then have veneers or bonding done to reshape and close the spaces.  
However another option, and I believe the better option would be to have orthodontics done to regain the space of the missing lateral incisors and place the canine teeth in the proper position.  This would leave you with a large (tooth size space) on either side of the central incisors that will need to be replaced, ideally with dental implants.  This second option will provide you with a broader, more natural looking smile that will be more stable over time.
I do still recommend you make an appointment with a dentist to have a comprehensive exam and X-rays to make sure that you are able to decide on which treatment option is best for you.

you have two options,the best one is to do braces and to bring that bite to a correct position,the situation is that at the end you will have a good oclusion,but you will still have the same teeth,with the same shape,size and color,and it will take up to 1 year aprox.now if you do not want to have braces or having braces is not part of your plans,you can have a different alternative solution,which is Smilemakeover,where you will be having a full mouth change  in just a couple of days and change your life!,and you will certainly will have also good results with several techniques involved,and you will be changing shape,size and color,i would not recommend veneers over baby teeth, must be a full zyrconia crown,to have something strong on top of those baby teeth.
