See your dentist who: Can go over your treatment options with you after actually examining you along with taking some diagnostic x-rays. Composite bonding? Veneers? Orthodontics (fixed or removable)? No treatment? Are some of the possibilities. See what is possible and right for you.

Separate problems: Two separate problems. See your dentist to assess gap. options are crowns vs braces. For persistent jaw pain, ask dentist also. If jaw joint (TMJ) pain, see TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.

Compound problem: See your Dentist for these 2 things , which may be related. The gap at your age may be due to muscle pull in between them, tongue thrust, periodontal support problem, or the bite (occlusion). The jaw pain may be physiological (muscle/joint,etc. ) or occlusal, or clenching/grinding (which may cause gap) or combination. 1st stop - Dentist, 2nd stop -- maybe specialists to team together. Good Luck. .

Unrelated problems: Fortunately, a gap in front two teeth is easy to fix when the space is not too wide. Your dentist will recommend what type of treatment is needed for your jaw pain or refer you to a specialist, such as Orofacial Pain expert.
