Braces could take a while and look kind of bad, but they now have the clear braces, Invisalign, that work really well and you can barely notice them. It could take up to a year, but they really work and are becoming more inexpensive along the years. They run for about the same price as regular braces, sometimes they are even cheaper.

If braces are too expensive for you, maybe you could have this done with "direct resin bonding." I would not choose to use porcelain veneers on a 15 year old, because the shade would not match for more than a very few years. The cost varies ridiculously by area and individual practice, but if you need a little bonding material applied to two teeth to close the gap, I imagine you could get it done for less than $400 total. Expect to have it replaced within maybe five years. After that, consider having it redone with porcelain, if you are not satisfied with the resin bonding.
You could also have the space closed orthodontically. This might be a lot cheaper than you would imagine and it's worth asking whether it is possible and how much it would cost. Some gaps can be closed with a retainer-like appliance for less than $1,000.

i had a friend who wore braces for the same problem for 3 years and after 5 months she had gaps again and had been told that recidives are very common for diastems so maybe the cheapest and easiest way is to have composite added on ur teeth it can be achieved in a one day visit at ur dentist unlike the braces that cannot promise a lot and take a lot of time and money

The only way you are going to find out what is best for you is a visit to your dentist,as there are a few options to look at first,you could have some crowns,or braces but as for how long you would need to wear them depends on your age,how big the gap is,so please go to your dentist and ask for some advise,good luck

Go to a cosmetic dentist who will build up the adjacent teeth with white epoxy cement to close the gap in a realistic way.

THE BEST ANSWER IS LIGHT CURE COMPOSITE RESIN RESTORATION IF THE GAPS ARE NOT TOO BIG - FOR MINIMUM GAP OF 1-2mm - THESE ARE CALLED COMPOSITE FILLERS - VERY TOOTH COLORED MATERIALS AND VERY NATURAL DONE BY ALL THE DENTIST.

Make an appointment with an orthodontist. Consultations are free. They will give you all the information you need.

Cheapest and quickest way- don't smile. Hard to attract other though.
