Hello sir
Edge of your tooth can be rebuilt by simple composite 😊
And as per as your photo I felt you have aligned tooth but it's slightly forwardly placed it's interfering with your looks
It can be corrected and this treatment will take around year where u will have to wear braces and treatment will be once in a month for correction
You can visit my clinic at Bangalore
Thank you 😊

Edge build up with composite restorative can be done. For straightening teeth you need to wear braces. There are different types of braces both aesthetic and relatively non aesthetic. Considering your age you will have to choose am aesthetic option. There are inexpensive options here too. You could consult me privately if you want on Practo.

The edge can be easily corrected with a composite restoration in one sitting.
Regarding straightening you will have to wear braces .The treatment time is usually many months to a couple of years depending on severity of problem.Best done by a orthodontist
Next Steps
Consult your dentist for the fracture and ask him to recommend a orthodontist for straightening.
