What Are The Possible Ways To Correct The Misalignment Of Teeth Without Braces?

Hello
I am 17 years old and I am still a thumb sucker. My front teeth have been pushed out allowing my tongue to go through the gap. When I was little, I also had a boot thrown at my face causing my front teeth to chip as well, making my teeth look smaller and misshapen. I am extremely self conscious about my smile and avoid it when I can. I had braces when I was younger but didn't complete the process because my mom wasn't up to date with all of my appointments. I am also entering college and don't want to be known as the "braceface". My question is, how can I correct my problem? I have medicaid and want to know if what I need done will be covered or not?
