My two front teeth stick out a little bit and I don't want to get braces if I can help it. I've heard of a spring retainer but I'm not sure whether it would work. Thanks in advance <3

Yes they can, in some cases. An orthodontist would need to take a look, though. Sometimes your bite will not permit that type of correction, or if the crowding is too severe it may not work.
Also, if your teeth are out because of your bite being off, a retainer may not be enough to correct it. In that case, your bite would need to be corrected and simply moving the two front teeth may not provide a good result.

YOU MAY HAVE A FUNCTIONAL RETAINER MADE TO SLOWLY GUIDE THOSE TEETH INTO PROPER POSITION.
SEE YOUR DENTIST.
