Since an year I have been experiencing difficult with my teeth because they started moving outwards like petals of a flower. I am even unable to smile. Looking awkward. What kind of dental procedures should I go through to keep my teeth backwards in normal position and to get good smile? !

Since its a year only when started noticing your teeth flaring , I suspect pathological migration due to periodontal disease. Get yourself checked by a Periodontist
If your gum status is OK he/she will refer you to a orthodontist.

It's difficult to gauuge your situation by the description. if you can post a pic it will help. but my first impression is that you are feeling that your teeth are moving forward. so in that case the best bet would be to get braces treatment done.

Dear friend.
As per your case history i suscept you have
1)traumatic occlusion due to which your teeth are drifting apart.
or
2) pathologic teeth migration due to periodontitis.
OPG is needed to assess your bone health and also blood investigations if needed.
After that treatment could be decided.

Hello,
You need to get an X ray done first to evaluate your bone levels of all the teeth.
Secondly you need to consult an Orthodontist who will evaluate you further clinically and then advise you if the problem can be sorted out with braces.

Most probably you might be suffering from pathologic migration or from trauma from occlusion, if you are confident that the movement of your teeth has recently occurred. Initially consult an Orthodontist to diagnose the problem.
