Hi, metal braces or any other braces(ceramic or lingual) are very efficient in closing the gap. If the gaps are very small it will take not more then 8-10months. You will have to wear retainers also after treatment. Then there are Aligners, that are completely bracket and wire free. They are invisible also and no restrictions on food habits. The charges vary from city to city and dentist to dentist. EMI options are also available at some clinics.

Please consult an Orthodontist

Hello there, I understand your concern and I have a solution to it.
See as the gap or space is although small, but depending on the availability of time &results such as short term or long term treatment will vary.
Although composite filling is a nice option to it , but there are other options also
Next Steps
Visit dentist for further clinical examination & if required some investigation like radiograph also.

If there's a little gap might as well do a cosmetic dental treatment which will be very quick and now a days we can achieve wonders with composites which is minimally invasive procedure

Hello,
As you are 25 years old, I would suggest you to go for fixed orthodontic treatment ( metal braces or other braces of your choice) as it is the only permanent cure for spaces. If the spaces are less, gaps will be filled within 6 months with proper alignment of teeth. Price & payment mode varies from clinic to clinic, so you need to ask the orthodontist near you about the same.

Hi,
Gap between front teeth can be resolved with or without braces. If the gap is very small you can get either tooth colored fillings on both teeth or place ceramic veneers.For a larger gap orthodontic treatment is advisable.The treatment time for orthodontic treatment can be acertained once a proper evaluation of your condition is done.
