Please consult orthodontist. If it's because of frenulum attachment ..then first ortho treatment need to be done for the alignment of your teeth and after that if your frenulum needs to be cut ..then frenectomy can be done for proper positioning of your teeth.

Hi. Please don’t worry about the age factor at all. The gaps can be closed at any age. You can go for Invisalign if you have the budget for that or the normal metal / ceramic braces. Kindly get the teeth looked at so that treatment could be started without much delay. You will have a perfect set of teeth by the time you finish the treatment which could take from 8months to 1.5 years.
Next Steps
Kindly visit for a dental check up and then get the braces treatment started. You can reach us on www.delhidentistspa.com
Health Tips
Avoid pushing your tongue in between the teeth or you may widen the gap further.

Please consult with an orthodontist regarding the same.
Yes, you can straighten your teeth, and close the gaps, even at 26.
Good luck!
