Get a dental full mouth checkup done. It is required to see the reason of black lines on top of ur teeth. If they are simple calculus then it can be cleaned with simple scaling
Next Steps
get an opg. it will lead to see your wisdom teeth which are impacted and position of all ur teeth
. if after seeing opg required then you can get wisdom teeth extracted and if not required it can be left alone. it depends on position and angulation and bone coverage around the tooth.
then you can go for orthodontic treatment or braces. u can even get tooth coloured braces as you are a female and aesthetics must be important for you.

Health Tips
black lines on your molar tooth could be cavities or stains.stains will get removed by scaling .but if diagnosed as cavity ,get them filled first before starting braces treatment

Hi
To correct your teeth you should have braces
When you visit your orthodontist he will advise you after seeing the x ray if extraction of the wisdom tooth is required to create space or no
