What Can Be Done? Canine Tooth Too Far Back

I have this canine tooth that is too far back. I have uploaded a picture so you can see exactly what's going on. I would really love for a way to get my smile back. It was wonderful if I do say so myself :)

Anyway...

Here is what I've been told so far.

Option 1: I could get my canine removed and get an implant. But, the dentist highly recommended I not go that route because the canine is such a major tooth.

Option 2: I could get special orthodontics that raised my entire bite. So that the orthodontics could bring the tooth forward and not get in the way of my bite. Then when it was back in place they would lower my bite back to where my teeth would be touching like normal.

I'm hoping there is another option. If you have any helpful info, please let me know what you think.

Thanks for any feedback you send my way. :)
