Its called as diastema. Best is to go for braces, which move the teeth together. Another treatment available is using crowns, veneers or bonding.
Also a splint can be used to attach teeth to other teeth and prevent them from moving again. In some cases, a bridge will be required to close the spaces.
We have multiple cases to showcase where we have removed this in quick time using alternatives of braces,

JUST SAW YOUR PICS.you are having gaps but at the same time you have proclined (forward) upper as well as lower teeth. in short time your font teeth gaps can be filled cosmetically but the gap behind your lower left canine is very big and cannot be closed cosmetically. i feel ideal treatment would be braces for you (though time consuming) that will not only close all upper lower spaces but also take the teeth in and your smile will really look good. with laminates and all the teeth won't go that much inside and will remain proclined. think about this!

You should get Ortho treatment in which braces are applied to close the gaps. That's the best and conservative treatment but time is long.

Hello,
you need to visit an orthodontist and get a fixed appliance done to get the gaps closed. Also you need to get an OPG x-ray done to check the condition of the underlying bone.

There is not too much gap. Composite veneering gives good result and cost effective. Next treatment option is ceramic cap. And if gap is more then ortho treatment is treatment of choice. But in your case cosmetic composite/ceramic is good option
