What would be the most effective way of closing a gap between my two front teeth?

Q. I have a gap in my two front teeth, it’s about 3mm and I have the little bit of skin/gum in between the teeth that some people with gaps have. I want the gap closed, what would be the most effective way of closing it? And the most/least time consuming? Also how much is it likely to cost me?,
A. The best way would be with braces as there is no tooth destruction involved. If you are suitable there is a brace called the Inman aligner this is designed to straighten front teeth only and only takes up to 12 weeks max. The cost is around £1500.00 Your other option is to have crowns these take about 2 weeks from start to finish and cost from £650.00 per tooth. I am happy to see you for a consultaion so i can advise you more accurately.
