Not sure what you mean exactly. However, the bone shall adapt accordingly as per the movement of the teeth. If the extent of diastema is only to a limited degree, then severe changes in the skeletal structure is highly unlikely.
Next Steps
Please consult an Orthodontist.

Braces are used to shift the teeth and that can alter your appearance. However the structure of the jaw bone cannot be changed
