Braces treatment is safest way to close developing gaps. If visibility is an issue for you, then i would suggest you to go for transparent aligners like clearpath or invisalign. They work just like braces.

Orthodontic treatment will always be a permanent solution. There are many variants to make it more cosmetic. But the treatment will take time for sure. The other options are there to close gaps like veneers which can be finished with in a week...If time is not an issue go for braces.
Next Steps
Take a consultation with an orthodontist

Hello Ma'am
Greetings of the day. There are various options for closing the gaps of present in your teeth such as braces, veneers or crowns.
You should get a professional cleaning and polishing done since the gaps in your teeth might be developing due to gingivitis (gum inflammation). Get the cleaning done every 6 months to maintain good oral hygiene.
