Hello lybrate-user, although the best time to undergo orthodontic treatment is when you are still growing, however most orthodontic procedures can be successfully carried out even in adulthood. Gap between teeth is a common problem and it can easily be corrected by traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces (braces placed behind the teeth) or clear aligner therapy. I will advise you to consult an orthodontist (braces specialist) who will help you choose the appliance of choice. Time an cost will depend on the complexity of problem and the choice of appliance. Hope this helps, all the best.
