Hi,
Braces or orthodontic treatment would be your best option to get the teeth inside. Since you mention that you don’t have space, yes you will need to have extraction - because the size of your teeth is bigger than your jaw bone. To accommodate pulling the teeth inside we will have to reduce the teeth matter - hence removing 2 teeth.
Costing for metal braces starts at around 25k and you can even choose to have transparent options.
As for time - usually a good estimate is 1 year but you will get a proper timeline after a consultation.
Next Steps
Next - you can contact us for an orthodontic consultation and discuss the treatment.

Hello there ! Braces treatment is all about proper and ideal planning in the beginning. If in case you need the profile changes and which could be brought about only by extraction .. you gotta do it . It’s all very much okay to carry out extractions if necessary .
