It depends up on how u wana close that space,if u are looking forward to close the space naturally then u shd go for braces or u wana close the space with capping or veneers.orthodontist is a specialist dentist who is concerned mainly with teeth alignment issues or braces.u can consult a dentist too,he wil assess ur case and wil give u the opinions available for closing the gap.depending up on the selection he wil call the concerned specialist..
