Hello sir,
Hope you are staying safe and well. Filling the teeth to hide the gaps in my opinion is not guaranteed as you use the front teeth to bite anything.. There are lot of treatment methods to close the gap like orthodontic braces, laminates and veneers, crowns.
In my point of view.. orthodontic treatment after the growing age will not be more succesful and the thing is gap widens as age progresses.. Just check out whether you push your tongue out between the teeth (tongue thrusting)as a habit which will be one of the reason for widening of gap.
Next Steps
You can reach us for crowns , laminates and veneers.
Health Tips
Just make a self check whether you tongue thrust

Hello dear,
Yes, there are many options that ate available with the advancement in dentistry, you can get either veneers or permanent crown to help resolve the issue permanently. There are orthodontic treatment also available but that takes time. But with veneer’s and crown, it’ll be fabricated in just 2-3 days.
However, these depends on the case so kindly get a consultancy done and let us decide what would be the best option for you.
