What options are available to correct a gap in my teeth that has emerged after braces?

Q.
Hi, I had braces in my mid- teens and had to have two teeth taken out. I was assured that there would be no gaps left when the treatment was completed. But there was a gap. It is not as large as the original canine was but still is large (about 3/4 mms in width). I was told I could get braces again but that the gap would re-emerge. I declined. Another dentist told me it is too small a gap for bridges to be used. I am in my mid-twenties now and I want this fixed, for cosmetic reasons but also because the other teeth are starting to slowly seperate from one another. Please provide some solutions. Thanks,

What can I do to restore my confidence?

Q.
Hello! I am 19 year old student currently in full time education but I am very worried about my teeth. I recently had treatment for acid erosion due to drinking orange and other fruit juice, sometimes running it around my mouth. I am also worried about the gaps between my teeth, which puts me off from smiling, especially in photographs because it is visible. I don’t know what else to do or how to treat it, but I found out that the treatments are very expensive and I don’t think my parents would pay for it. The gaps are lowering my confidence and I constantly cover my mouth when I laugh. What can I do?,
