I have one tooth in the center of my face. Is there anything I can do about this? Would braces help?

I don't think my right canine tooth came out. (A tooth is still in my gums) I have an overbite with the tooth in the middle and the right tooth next to it is pushed behind my bottom teeth which caused one to grow at an angle. I hardly went to the dentist as a child (my parent couldn't afford it) so this wasn't helped earlier. If braces could help, how long would it take? (Also I'm unable to take pictures) long would it take?
