For most gaps, the least invasive way to treat this is to get orthodontic treatment (braces). Some options including fillings, crowns, and veneers may be able to close gaps between teeth as well. If the space is very large or caused by a missing tooth, the space may need to be replaced by an implant, bridge or removable prosthesis. Each case is different and a dentist will need to do a full evaluation to determine which treatment is best.
Proper diagnosis, need to evaluate the teeth, the gums and supporting bone. Depending upon what is seen will determine your options.
There are about 3 solutions to fix the gap between teeth: clear braces, traditional braces, or veneers. It all depends on your bite and severity. Each has different time, costs, and pros and cons. Best to be seen and consulted.
It depends. Is it a single gap? Is it between your front teeth? How big is it? If it isn't too big, bonding may be an option. Veneers last much longer than bonding, they are more of an investment. Sometimes the ideal option is braces or aligners. As long as you wear retainers as directed, moving the teeth is permanent fix.
The best way to close to close gaps between teeth is orthodontically. Orthodontics can be traditional with wires and brackets or with a series of clear aligners. The time it takes to close those spaces can be anywhere from 6 months to about two years depending on the amount of movement required.
If the teeth are normal width and shape (not tapered or narrow), then the best way to close gaps is orthodontic treatment (braces or clear aligners), but it would be very important to wear retainers as recommended after treatment like with any orthodontic correction.
Hope this helps.

It depends on how wide the gap is. If the gap is not too wide, you can visit your dentist and inquire if a crown or veneer to close the space. If the gap is too wide, you may need a bridge or implant.
Braces, retainer, cosmetic work. Speak with your dentist.
