Kindly take a check x ray of the teeth incase the gaps are increasing over the years before you start.. gap in your teeth can be closed using braces it would take time depending on the severity of the problem Other options would be to go for crowns or veneers but if the gaps are huge i would not recommend this option Many options are available today in the types of the braces in the market the cost factor would also depend on this
