Get it evaluated by a dentist… may be bonding or veneers
Either orthodontic treatment or fillings to close the gap.
Depends on many things. If the gap is really large (and if your teeth are very short), orthodontics may be your best treatment choice. This moves your teeth closer together without changing the size or shape of your teeth. You can lessen or eliminate the gap this way. If the gap isn't too wide, you can increase the width of your teeth by having a tooth colored resin bonded to your teeth. This "bonding" is a reversible procedure in case you want your gap back at any time. The most drastic treatment option is to have veneers (or laminates) bonded onto the surface of your teeth. This process is not reversible as it is very difficult to remove the veneers without damaging your own enamel. See your dentist to determine which option is best for you.
You can close the gap orthodontically or by placement of chair-side or lab-fabricated restorations. The best thing is to consult your dentist to review all your options.
Depending, you can do orthodontics, bonding, or veneers.
Changing the position of your front teeth is called orthodontics and is best supervised by a dentist. If you close the gap between your front teeth, what other gap(s) are you going to open? Orthodontics is really just about pressure over time so it is conceivable that you could push your teeth together with your fingers if you applied the pressure long enough. I don't recommend this method, but in theory it would work. You are best to see a dentist who does orthodontics or an orthodontist to make sure closing that gap doesn't cause additional complications.
I would visit an orthodontist first. Please do not attempt the fad of using hair bands or rubber bands. I have seen too much damage using these at home products. Your teeth you want to last a lifetime, do not cheap out or use an unsupervised method.
You can reduce the gap with doing orthodontics or Invisalign and moving teeth together OR by placing a bonding on the two front teeth by an experienced dentist.
Ortho, veneers or bonding.
