Hi
The teeth alignment can be done at the age of 30 given there is no periodontal problems ( gum problems)
Surely the gaps and proclination can be corrected by fixed orthodontic treatment.
Firstly, you need to consult a dentist for evaluating your oral health status.
The lightening of lips and gums(depigmentation) can be done by a Periodontist.( mds)
Hope this helps!
