Hi... You are thinking right. You can get braces and correct the issue. You have different options of braces either fixed or removable. Time taken depends on condition of your teeth and bone. But if you want earlier we can plan accordingly. You can visit my clinic in Pune for free consultation.

As you say it's increasing with age, check whether you have tongue thrusting habit. As Chronically that may lead to gradual increase in gap between upper front teeth.
Pls put up a picture. So by seeing the amount of gap present treatment ideas can be suggested.
For braces treatment this is an ideal age.
