Is there surgery to get rid of gaps in your teeth?

See your dentist: There are plenty of ways to close gaps between your teeth. You need to see a dentist who will explain your options which may include: orthodontics, cosmetic bonding, porcelain laminate veneers, full coverage crowns. If you have very large spaces from missing teeth, they may possibly recommend dental implants.

A diastema between: Maxillary central incisors due to a thick and inferiorly attached labial frenum/frenulum can be surgically removed via a frenectomy or frenuloplasty and then the teeth can be brought together via orthodontics. This would be one instance where surgery can help eliminate a gap between teeth.
