Mild Gap between two middle front teeth
I have a mild gap between my two upper front teeth.
When I smile, this gap is clearly visible from the right side, which makes my smile look uneven.
The gap is not very big, but it is noticeable.
I want to close this gap so that my smile looks natural and good.
Please let me know if this problem can be fixed with Clear Aligners or Braces.

If you want a budget-friendly, effective, “no-responsibility” option → go for braces.
If you prefer aesthetics, comfort, and can be disciplined → go for aligners.

First thing, share a photo so that I can understand more. If it is a mild spacing it can be corrected by both aligners or braces. Function wise they both are same. Only difference is, aligners are nearly invisible, less number of clinic visits and you can maintain good oral hygiene as you can remove aligner everyday for brushing. But braces are fixed so you can only remove it after treatment completion and there are chances of mild trauma to your cheek and lips due to wires and brackets. So if you can't bare the pain of small ulcers then go for aligners. Otherwise both do same function.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist for orthodontic treatment. Avoid doing filling method , because in future there are chances of discoloration of filling. So the best treatment is aligner or braces. Both give same result.
Health Tips
And try to know the reason for spacing. In some person spacing is because of high frenal attachment. So just check if you have high frenal attachment or not. If there is, then do the treatment for that first and then do ortho(clip) treatment

If you want a quick fix u can go for composite build up, which can be done in 30 min. A more permanent solution can be dental veneers, which can be fixed on your teeth. But if u hav 6-8 months time we can go for aligners, which is the best option.

Mild gap between your two upper front teeth can be closed by braces or aligners and might require permanent retention (retainers) in most cases.
If the gap is small, it can be very well corrected by Composite fillings or veneers.

Orthodontic treatment like Aligners and Braces can close gaps between teeth ,but requires planning and treatment time varies from 12-18 months or longer,
If gap is there only between upper two teeth ,and you need a quicker solution ,other options like composite filling or build up,veneers,crowns can be done .
Next Steps
Schedule a dental evaluation

Definitely you can fix this problem with aligners/braces provided these ( braces n aligners) take a long time but if you want to fix this problem in one sitting then you can also go for composite filling between front two teeth . These composite filling lasts for few years so it's not a permanent treatment like braces/aligners.
