Your bite needs to be evaluated before advising. If the bite needs correction then you should opt for braces. If it is only a cosmetic issue for you then you can decide whether you want to go for it or not. Consult a dentist to evaluate your occlusion and guide you accordingly

There is nothing harm in that . If you feel your smile is not good and making you feel bad about your appearance. Then you can have it corrected. Otherwise it's not needed.
Next Steps
visit a near by dentist he will explain you the pros and cons of the treatment then you can decide whether you need that corrected or not

brush your teeth this daily .
rinse your mouth after every meal.
