Namaskaram,
Retainers after othodontic treatment are a must as they help in maintaining the teeth in position after the orthodontic treatment. Nothing is permanent in orthodontics. Hence they may tend to relapse. Still these are various options other than ortho treatments like crowns , veneers , laminates and coposite bondings. Good luck!!

Fix Ortho treatment is required but before that, frenectomy is to be done, so that the Muslims diastema, does not relapse after the treatment, as it is d main cause for midline spacing.

Gap in upper teeth causes food lodgment which leads to periodontitis (Gum disease) leading to early loss of teeth.
The gap needs to be closed. usually braces treatment closes the gap effectively.
Ig the gap has re-opened, it can be because of (a) High frenal attachment -which needs to be removed. (b) Patient has not worn the retention plate after braces treatment.
If the gap is small, orthodontist can do some alterations in the retention plate and that can be used to close the gap.
If not braces, you can go for ;
1. Cosmetic filling
2. Crown/Veneers
3. Laminates
Health Tips
Braces treatment is the most natural treatment option. make sure you get it done by Orthodontist. Can visit Brace Place Orthodontist in Balewadi, Pune for more details.

Gap between upper 2 front teeth is midline diastema. It can be easily corrected using braces treatment or similar applaince , but at the same time the cause of the gap needs to be corrected . The cause is usually a low frenum attachment. This needs to be corrected so the gap does not come back again. Hope this helps
