Answers:
why hasn't braces fixed this? Veneers are an option, but its better to move the tooth because veneers often require replacement at some stage in your life (they don't always and rarely last forever), if they have to overcompensate too much for larger protrusions, then this can be unhealthy for your gums.

Veneers range alot but a ball park figure would be 750-1300 per tooth. (without insurance)

Personally I would get braces to fix this. teeth should stay there if you wear your retainers properly, and the retainers are good.

Veneers require alot of cutting to a good tooth to place the veneer on. But its up to you, it can look nice once its done.

>reasons for braces:
veneers cost more
You need to cut good tooth away to place the veneer.
May require replacement a few times in your lifetime. (your other teeth may change colour over time, or your gums can shrink back exposing the margin etc.
A filled tooth is never as strong as a natural tooth.

Quick fix; don't need to wear braces, If your tooth is quite heavily filled then its probably better.

If you have good enough insurance and can find a dentist that covers it then you should consider gettin it pulled and getting a veneer;)

U PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER TYPE BRACE LIKE A RETAINER. THEY WIRE IT TO TWO TEETH AND IT PULLS THE 1 INTO PLACE. NO INSURANCE PROBABLY WILL NOT COVER COSMETIC DENTAL WORK. PRICE RANGE FROM 180-300$
