What treatment is suitable for canines that are forward of other teeth?

Q. My bottom row of teeth is almost perfectly straight, but on the the top row the canines (I think) are further forward than my other teeth. Also, due to an accident when I was 11 (I am now 23) two of my teeth are chipped and one of the front ones has the bottom section missing and is capped. As such, I don’t know if it would be worth having my teeth straightened if you could still see the caps, or what my other options would be? Please advise? Much appreciated.,
A. Thanks for your questions, it is still possible to have your teeth straightened, despite the presence of the crown. You seem reluctant however to make the repaired teeth more visible, if this is because the restorations do not appear natural, then you may wish to have these replaced after the completion of any Orthodontic treatment. If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me again.Kindest regardsDr Kailesh Solanki

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.
