What is the recommended procedure to correct my teeth when my lateral incisor has grown behind my lower central incisors

Hello, I had braces as a child, but the result was less than ideal. My lateral incisor teeth grew behind my lower central incisors, and to create space, they removed the central incisors and pushed the lateral incisors into their place. Unfortunately, I wasn't provided with a retainer afterward, which led to significant misalignment of my midline. Even with my mouth closed, my jaw appears misaligned. I'm seeking advice on the best procedure to correct this issue. Would Invisalign, veneers, a combination of both, or another solution be recommended?

Hello. You have a severe deep bite along with youe misalignments.Firstly orthodontist should correct your alignments and they may make extrusion in posterior teeth to increase vertical.dimension and decrease your deepbite if possible. Later on, veneers may be required to enhance esthetics.
