Braces, Caps: In order to correct the position of the tooth i is best to see an Orthodontist. In some cases a cap or a Veneer can be used to cosmetically make he correction, but the dentist may have to shave some parts of your tooth.

2 choices: You can have your teeth straightened or reshaped. Talk to both an Orthodontist and a General Dentist before making up your mind.

A few thoughts....: My personal preference is to attempt to orthodontically bring that tooth into position: will look better in the long run, will not involve drastic reduction of tooth structure, and will have no restoration that will need eventual replacement. Seek the opinion of a local orthodontist who can examine you.
