Choice of treatment is orthodontic correction of teeth. Least invasive.
Crowns or veneers also can be done to close the gap.
Please check if the frenal attachment is one of the reasons for the space between teeth.

Gap between teeth may be developmental or pathologic ...it may be due to malalignement or deteriorated periodontal condition .. so it's better to consult dental surgeon for either corrective treatment like orthodontics i.e. braces or prosthetic cosmetic treatment like composite fillings,laminates,veeners..

The cause of gap between teeth has to be checked. If no pathology, then there are multiple options such as veneers and crowns. You can get a trial of how it looks before you start the treatment. If looks good braces can be avoided
