I have a narrow smile, what’s the cheapest option availble to fix this?

Q. I had crowded teeth when i was at school and had a 2 year brace to fix them. I went through a lot of pain but in the end it was worth it. Im now 37 and over the years my teeth have crossed over at the front again, although not as bad as when i was younger, and my teeth are very close together. I can just about fit dental floss between them! If i bit a piece of wood, i could make arrow heads. that is the shape of my bite. I cannot get a brace on the NHS which i think is unfair considering i have already had brace. I dont expect a ‘hollywood smile’ but i do want a wider smile where my teeth are not crossed over at the front. When i smile you can see my two front teeth crossed and the ones beside them are already turned inwards to follow the rest of the teeth. I have a narrow smile. What would you suggest? The cheapest easiest option please. Thank you,
A. You would need a clinical assesment to determine this and then maybe a trial wax up. It may be worth investigating veneers but without a clinical assement it is only a guess. Rob
