Hello
Our experts from the department of conservative dentistry and orthodontics suggest you to get composite restoration done with a proper follow up. Composites may get stained or dislodge with time, so follow up is mandatory. Orthodontic treatment is in fact the best because it closes the gap naturally. If you don't want braces, invisible aligners are available but expensive. You might choose ceramic braces also because they are not visible like metal braces. This takes time. Aesthetically pleasing crowns involve reducing natural tooth structure and it has to be the last option if all other options are ruled out only.

There are various options to get the gap between your teeth closed.
1. You can get composite veneers to close it.
2. A composite restoration that camouflages the gap can also be used.
3. You can also go for zirconia crowns, they look aesthetic and the gap will be tightly closed.

1). First you go with direct composite aesthetic restoration ..if you are comfortable with this treatment than don’t do anything just maintain it . Because it is more conservative and than other treatment .
2). Second you go with indirect composite aesthetic restoration( called composite veener ) this one is permanent and nonreplaceble treatment ..
3). Third you go for orthodontics treatment plan ( braces ) but gap is so minor so better you go for 1st option according to me ..

as according to the pic provided the gap is obviously minimal, the ideal treatment is to go for fixed orthodontic treatment to close the gap naturally but the treatment time is a bit more and if you want to go for the quick fix of this gap issue then even you can go for cosmetic restoration and filling of the concerned tooth.
Next Steps
just visit the dentist and convey your problem, either to go for fixed ortho treatment or to go for cosmetic restoration.
