Hmm, midline discrepancies. Very frustrating. The midline is a complicated concept because faces are seldom symmetrical and midlines between the eyes, center of the nose, center of lips, upper teeth, bottom teeth and chin seldom coincide. So compromises are frequently necessary. I understand that the midline of your teeth and nose are different, but cannot in your picture see the eyes or chin. To move the midline as much as you want and need, you probably need to remove teeth.
