I have healthy teeth but want to change the shape. What procedures would you suggest? (photos)

My problem is that I don't like the shape of my teeth! And I am willing to pay a lot to have them fixed. I talked with Straumann- dental clinic, and they say they don't do implants on healthy teeth, only patients who are missing teeth. Is this correct? I am thinking about braces.

I need advice on what to do??
