You can get the braces done for a permanent and long term solution, as the severe gap is there, so if you will go for Veneers or Crowns, they will be bigger in size and won’t look good aesthetically. Also considering your age, Braces or Aligners can give you a better result.

Dear Ma'am
At first we need to know the exact cause of the gap. Whether it is a natural gap since childhood, or whether it is due to any soft tissue related underlying condition. The average treatment time for any orthodontic treatment be it aligners or braces is 12-15 months. You may also need to wear retainers for a period of 6 months minimum after treatment. The time of treatment can be more specifically estimated after seeing the patient in person. Minimum cost of Invisalign aligners is 1.5 lakhs and minimum cost of other non Invisalign aligners is minimum 35k.

From your picture, it looks like the gap is caused by something called high frenal attachment which becomes more fibrous as you age and increases space gradually but not a lot. Before or during the course of your treatment, that must be severed either by normal cutting or laser. Only then, the gap will completely close. This needs to be examined in person by the dentist before proceeding with Ortho correction. Invisalign is an ideal choice for aligners, which is very comfortable and effective too. In Invisalign, the treatment can be completed varying from 6 months- 1year- timeline is considering based on only the teeth which is visible outside.
Next Steps
The exact timeline will be determined after scanning your teeth.
