yes
Braces or orthodontics which can be done using many different methods, from removable retainers, to clear aligners, to wires and brackets, is designed to reposition teeth to their ideal and or most esthetic position in each individuals mouth. If there are "gaps in your teeth" those would probably be caused by decay or trauma. If you are asking can braces close the gaps between teeth, that is what they do best. Keep in mind if your jaw has too much space in it and not enough teeth to fill all the spaces it may be necessary to do something else to make sure all the spaces are filled. Consulting with an Orthodontist or dentist who does orthodontics on a regular basis would be the best way to find what is possible in your particular case.
In most cases yes

Yes. Braces can fix the gaps. 

I have spaces in between your teeth, orthodontic treatment ( braces or Invisalign) will close them. You will have to see with your dentist, if they can all be closed ( in certain cases if the is a tooth/jaw size discrepancy it may be more difficult)
Braces are designed to fix many bite and teeth irregularity, spacing included. It is an excellent way to improve your smile without alternating tooth structure.
