One of my top front teeth is starting to come out further than the other and one of the bottom fronts is pushing back. Why did this happen, I am 27 and it started happening about 2 years ago

Hey, that's amazing of how late you teeth started shifting. It looks like you jaw would be a bit small to fit in your front teeth. I can't really say what's wrong, because you would need for someone to have a look at it. But the problem could be fixed by using spacers, or attaching braces to just the one tooth, and you can definately move it back.

Officially, wisdom teeth are said NOT to push teeth forward. The vast majority of the time I agree, but there are certainly times when I've seen crowding increase when the 3rd molars come in.
Other things can cause drifting too--loss of other teeth, oral habits, bite patterns, periodontal disease.
There is really no way to even guess without being evaluated by your dentist.

Have you had your wisdom teeth removed? If not, they might be crowding your teeth and that's why the front ones are moving. See your dentist and they'll be able to tell you what might be causing this. You might have to get them removed..... it sucks, but it's definitely better than having crooked teeth
Good luck!
