Fillings or ortho: Gaps between teeth can be improved with either changing the shape of the teeth through restorative work (fillings/crowns) or changing the position of the teeth (orthodontics). To move the teeth, depending on their position, you can use something as simple as an active retainer, to brackets and wires (traditional orthodontics). Orabands wont move all the teeth, and will open spaces elsewhere.

Crowns, invisalign: There are a few options. Invisalign clear aligners are an alternative to braces. Resin composite bonding to fill in the spaces it they are not too big. Crowns and veneers which are porcelain and look better than composite bonding. Please see your dentist to see what is right for you.

See answer: Bonding, veneers, invisalign are all options to close spaces and all will do a very nice job. Talk to your dentist about your options and your budget.
