Hello.
There are various treatment modalities (braces-fixed, removable orthodontic appliance, veneers, crowns, restorations) for your concerned problem.
But it all depends on the severity of the disease as well as etiology (cause) of the disease.
In case you opt for fixed braces, it can take anywhere between 6 months to 2 years depending on your profile.
Braces will improve your facial profile, but there will be no change in jaw line. But, the changes will definitely make you smile more.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist

There are a lot of procedures other than braces for closing up your gaps .... but how much amount of gap is there, will determine how much time and which type of gap closure treatment will be better for you.
Braces only deals with your tooth and surrounding structures !!!!! It really will not make any changes to your other facial structures
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist and have a proper clinical checkup and thereafter taking necessary xrays will help your dentist and you to understand the treatment better.

A picture will help determining exact treatment plan
There are options like braces which take around a year and also there are esthetic options like veneers and crown placement or even a restoration also works
Smile designing does not take much time
but which treatment plan will suit you better can be determined only when a proper clinical and radio graphical examination is done
