Hi..
More natural option for malaligned teeth are Braces. You have esthetic concerns regarding your front teeth. Various esthetic options are E-max crowns or veeners. As a dentist we are equally concerned with your functional bite. As third molar erupts, some changes are possible in your bite. So better is to go for Braces which can be ceramic or invisible braces.

Braces or orthodontic treatment in such condition is best treatment option .This hold more true especially at your age. In case you are concerned about the visibility of metal ones you can opt for ceramic braces or lingual braces. Invasilgn can be an secondary option to.
All other treatment option are non conservative and can be associated with subsequent complications.

Braces is the best option. You can go for invisialign if not braces as this appears to be a simple alignment issue. Without seeing your cast it is very difficult to comment though. Sometimes laminates/ Veneers can also be a good alternative for minor corrections if time would be an issue.
