Is there any way of fixing my dental problem by making my overall appearance of my smile wider?

Q. hi there , im 18 years old and currently have upper braces fitted, i have prominant front teeth due to my lower jaw being larger than upper. however although my lower teeth are straight i have a very narrow, rectangular shaped jaw,rather than a arch shape.This means my molars are tilted inwards so my bite is even with my top. Is there any way of fixing this by making my overall appearance of my smile wider instead of having my four front teeth showing only. Thanks x,
A. It sounds like the braces are your best option

I have a severely narrow jaw and smile. obviously this is primarily genetic, however when I was younger I had three of my rear teeth removed for my orthodontic treatment.Do you think that this could of exacerbated the problem and is there anything that can be done to rectify it. Thanks
