Congeniality missing lateral incisors.
I consulted an orthodontist, she recommended to go for braces and then dental implants for missing lateral incisors.. My question is will it look natural after complete treatment?I am kind of worried.

Firstly, the picture isn’t clear enough to get an idea of your upper teeth as whole. But from what be seen, there’s no place for laterals. There are varied treatment options for missing laterals depending on arrangement of your upper teeth.
Next Steps
Opt for a video consultation to discuss further options. Or visit an orthodontist.

Hello,
I don’t think there is sufficient space for laterals. I think the midline space (diastema) should be closed with fixed orthodontic treatment (braces), followed by smile designing, canine should be reshaped.
Next Steps
Visit an orthodontist. After full check up, it will be analysed that how much space is available & how to proceed with the treatment.
