You have to undergo orthodontic treatment. (Yes, you'll be wearing "braces"). Consult an orthodontist near you.

Health Tips
maintain your oral hygiene during the treatment, as wearing orthodontic brackets and bands ("braces") will increase the chances of food impaction. But don't worry, just follow your dentist's instructions, and you'll be fine.
