Other than braces you can opt for clear aligners since your canine is not in alignment with your other tooth.

The teeth that is uneven is called canines. They are not in the position that it is supposed to be and is placed highly from the normal position. This is causing your lips to change its form. This can be treated by orthodontic treatment and aligning your teeth well. If you dont want metal braces which is the conventional braces, you can opt for ceramic braces which is tooth colored and not visible or you can opt for clear aligner treatment as well that is a transparent tray and does not show when you wear them. Your treatment will take total 1.5-2 years of time. Please visit an orthodontist, he/she will be able to evaluate your situation better and formulate a well established treatment plan.

Hello,
For alignment you can choose clear aligners, or ceramic braces which are less visible compared to metal braces.
Before starting this treatment, please get the loose tooth assessed by a dentist. If it's a retained milk tooth, nothing to worry about.
But if the tooth is loose due to any other reason, get that treatment done first.
Next Steps
1. get the loose tooth assessed and get necessary treatment
2. alignment- clear aligners

It is important first to assess whether the looseness is due to gum issues, trauma, or improper bite forces caused by malalignment. Clear aligners are a great alternative for correcting malalignment. If the tooth is misshapen, cosmetic treatments like bonding, veneers, or crowns can help. But if it's loose due to gum issues, that needs to be treated first.
Next Steps
Iâd recommend getting a proper check-up by a dentist and X-rays to decide whatâs best for you.

From the images attached your teeth do appear uneven and mal aligned. A thorough clinical examination with supporting xrays can give us a clear understanding of the situation. Though braces would be the ideal choice of treatment considering you are young as well, if you are not keen on the traditional braces you could opt for invisible braces / clear aligners.
Next Steps
Kindly visit a dentist for a consult and a customised treatment plan.

Vist dentist and get an xray or OPG for your teeth.
Orthodontic braces are indeed an effective treatment option to align your teeth and achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
By correcting teeth alignment, braces can also improve bite function and overall oral health.
