My canines protrude much more than my other teeth, what can I do about this?

Q. Hello, Doctor. I have a problem with my two canines. I am thirteen years old and my canines seem to be much further forward than my other teeth. And my left canine is a little higher to my gums compared to the other. Is there any possibility that these would be fixed? I envy my other friends because they have perfect-aligned canines. You’re answer would be a GREAT help for me. Like, thank you so much.,
A. You may need a brace to bring them into align is sounds like your teeth may be a little overcrowded. I would ask your dentist to refer you to an orthodontist for an opinion as there will be a waiting list.

    sometimes , it depends on the shape and the thickness of enamel. A clinical examination by a dentist should give you an answer.
