Is there a way to move my teeth forward/out without giving me an overbite or mess up the function/form? (Photo)

Asked By:klarson4 in Trabuco Canyon, CA

I had braces done with first bicuspid extractions. Now my top teeth slant inward and my face isn't "full" which will only get worse as I age. I really don't like my smile anymore. Is there a way to move my teeth forward/out without giving me an overbite or mess up the function/form? I basically want my bicuspids back. Would putting in spacers and gradually making way for implants work? This may not be the best picture, but hopefully it shows the slant inward.
