In this case first you must get
1.Proper OPG(full mouth xray done)
2. Let the Dentist study your type of bite, frenum attachment and teeth properly.
3.Get all the treatment options available with your ease and then go ahead.
There will be two options
1.Orthodontic Treatment
Proper treatment of diastema closure and solving bite problem according to your growth type and the frenal attachment type.
Pros- Will resolve both problems in a systematic way
Cons-It might take some time, life time retention is required.
2.Endontic treatment
Capping of the front two teeth with reducing the tooth material or an intentional RCT.
Pros-Procedure will take less time
Cons- In future the cap might chip off due to the bite pressure or sensitivity might occur.
Next Steps
Visit your Dentist soon and get it properly checked as your bite might cause pain in your Temporo Mandibular Joint.

There are 2 to 3 procedure for diastema closure
1. Go for root canal in your front two teeth and than capping
2. Go for orthodontic treatment
3. Go for aesthetic restoration
N as per my advice I suggest you go for aesthetic restoration as in this procedure there is no harm to any other of your teeth.
Next Steps
