Ortho Consult: See a local orthodontist for a consultation. After an examination they will advise you of your options to close the spaces and give you that picture perfect smile.

Orthodontist : Having a orthodontic consultation is a great start. The teeth can often be moved to close the spaces, align the teeth straighter, and improve bite. Your second option would be to place bonding (resin filling) or ceramic veneers on teeth to cover front of teeth and close spaces. Talk to your dentist.

Gaps: Gaps between teeth may be due to tooth positions (malocclusion), tooth size ratios (Bolton discrepancy), and/or gum/bone loss (Periodontitis). See a specialist Orthodontist for Initial Examination (usually free) and a discussion of your treatment options. Orthodontist teaming up with your restorative Dentist and specialist Periodontist (if necessary) will give you best result.

Orthodontist: Specialist dentists can realign your teeth and narrow gaps. This usually requires the use of braces and there are many in your age group who do this. Check with your personal dentist for a recommendation.

Depends: Treatment for the gaps between your teeth will depend on the size and number of the gaps, your personal preference and what your dentist can offer you. Options to consider may include removable partial dentures, fixed bridges, implants, and orthodontic treatment.
