If time is not a matter for you and you're okay with the visible metal or any kind of braces , get an ortho consultation done.
However, if you want immediate results, prosthodontists do a good job in smile designing, you should then be ready to notice changes in the size and shape of the overall teeth in the front.
The shape can be done according to your criteria but size will be done based on the space available.
Next Steps
1) Ortho/Braces consultation
2) Prosthoo consultation
Health Tips
if the tooth is recently removed
i.e.its already been a day
warm salt water rinse is advisable, it is the best mouthwash, only to be avoided when there are ulcers

Surely an ortho treatment required. You have something known as midline diastema which is huge. Adding an implant would make three central incisors making it a crime. Best is to go for ortho treatment. Would taken time but the results would be achieved

Hello dear
Please be calm
See as per my knowledge,you can go for implantan or removable prosthesis since it is an esthetic issue and replacement of teeth is better than orthodontic treatment.for further details you can consult me on online or off-line mode

I recommend closure of your midline Diastema( gap between central incisors) by orthodontic treatment. This is the best, most natural and lasting solution to your problem with a fixed retainer. I cannot say the same for Smile design..
You will never regret Orthodontic treatment.

Space is huge to fill by any composite restoration or any denture. Go for an ortho treatment as it won't take long time to make it align and fill the space as required. Since it's feint teeth it need to look good. Ortho will do it's job good.
