Great oral hygiene. Brushing, flossing, stimudents, WaterPik all help the gingival tissues. You want to prevent gingival inflammation that could lease to periodontal disease causing gingival recession that is the cause of the black triangle.
Get some esthetic crowns, maybe gum grafting, etc.
Black triangles is a difficult situation. It is usually caused byr gum disease and recession. First you have to treat and stabilize the health of the gums. Depending on how severe it is, you can do several things:
Have a gum graft to restore the lost tissue, place veneers in the anterior area, or if minor, place some bonding. Hard to judge without seeing it.

As we age, patients often develop periodontal disease. Even in the early stages we see gums receding and black triangles develop. They can often be treated and camouflaged with bonded restorations. You should ask your dentist for options.
Maybe a crown or veneer or a larger crown or veneer to fill in the space?
Unfortunately, no one can answer on your questions by the text or e-mail. It depends on the gum condition, space position of teeth, trauma, and a couple more reasons. Periodontist specialist or general dentist with orthotic treatment team work may help you to resolve your concerns.
Most times the black triangles are related to a combination of shape of the tooth and the health of the gum tissue attached to it. Visit your American Dental Association dentist to discuss possible treatments.
