Is there any way to help my top front teeth angling straight down / slightly backward instead of slightly forward like in others? My maxilla isn’t recessed, or narrow and neither is my mandible / chin so I’m guessing this is from lack of enough breastfeeding suction forces during development. As my mom said I was mostly bottle fed. Or it could be a genetic trait. Is there any non-cope way for me to fix it without braces because my bite is aligned, just my front not angling properly. I’m guessing I could just push my teeth (completely aware that this will cause no maxillary differences) outward with my fingers? It’s not really much of an issue but I’d rather have more of my smile showing cuz we all know smile pill is quite important.
 
That sounds like incisor proclination, which can occur even when the jaws and overall bite are normal. It is often genetic, but it can also result from habits such as prolonged thumb or finger sucking that tip the upper incisors forwards and the lower incisors back. There is no reliable way to change tooth angulation without orthodontic appliances; finger pressure will not move roots and risks damaging the teeth.
