i’m a 24 years old female doctor working in Pakistan

Q. hello doctor, i’m a 24 years old female doctor working in Pakistan. My problem is the protrusion of front incisors of my upper jaw. Xray of my upper jaw shows compactness of molar teeth behind. i want a non extraction treatment done. the protrusion makes my fascial profile and smile get affected badly, making me under confident. Kindly guide me to solution of my problem. I really need help. Hoping for a favorable response. Regards.

A. You probably dont need to have extractions.  In my practice I very rarely take teeth out for teeth straightening.  You need to find a dentist who will offer you expansion treatment with interproximal reduction ( removing minute amounts of tooth from the front and back of your teeth to create space). 
Your frontg teeth will then be able to be moved in to create a more cosmetic profile.
