Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Gap in teeth specially front teeth is aesthetically not pleasant as well as functionally. For treatment, you need to visit an orthodontist for studying your dentition. If its only minor gaps between front teeth only and rest mention is fine, then no need for permanent braces. You can get Crowns or Laminates or Veneers for gap closure. But if there are other problems like maligned or irregular teeth or gap is too much, that will need proper alignment of entire dentition with fixed braces for 9-18 months. You need to get an OPG and lateral cephalogram done and orthodontist will study them and decide final treatment. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
