Baby teeth in adult

I am 33 years old with 3 baby teeth still present, all upper. They are a lateral incisor and both canines. On top of that I have a slightly bulging hard upper palate (condition called Torus palatinus), but this has never really bothered me. I was wondering if the two conditions are related?
And more importantly: what can I do to rectify my teeth? I've got an awful smile : (

Neither the torus nor the bony exostosis requires treatment unless it becomes so large that it interferes with function, interferes with denture placement, or suffers from recurring traumatic surface ulceration. When treatment is elected, the lesions may be chiseled off of the cortex or removed via bone bur cutting through the base of the lesion.
