Sorry - braces: You have a gap in your teeth. To close that gap, you need to move teeth. This is going to involve, no matter what you desire, the use of braces. That's where you have some choices. Talk to the orthodontist about options, including braces just at night and "invisible " braces. There aren't really any other ways to move the teeth permanently. You'll be amazed at what options are out there for braces

Diastema: Orthodontics is your best long term solution. Laminates involve shaving down your teeth, can easily de-bond if you're not careful, and will make your front two teeth very wide compared to the rest of your teeth. Each case is different so get a local consulation
