Misaligned teeth
I have little misaligned teeth. I have a small gap in my upper 2 teeth , which is not present in the root of the teeth but forms by the tip. And, my teeth are a protruding out a little. Also, there is a little gap in between my upper and lower jaw, which makes it difficult for me to bite thin things like a thread with my front teeth. I need to use my side teeth. Can these issues be fixed? If yes, then how much time it might take?

Hi, yours is a problem of open bite with spacing. Yes, it can be corrected very easily with orthodontic treatment with the help of braces. U can go to some good orthodontist and get it corrected. It will take almost a year for the whole procedure.
