Hello
Absolutely you can go for orthodontic treatment.
Soft tissue (Lips) follow the shape and position of the hard tissue (Teeth).
The fractured central incisor can be restored after the orthodontic treatment is completed if you don’t have any pain or sensitivity with that right now.
Next Steps
Metal braces, Ceramic braces, or Invisible braces (Invisalign aligners)
