Hello
there are many different options for closing gaps between teeth. It depends on the size of the gap and the desired outcome from a functional and cosmetic point of view. The various options include:
1. Braces/orthodontic treatment - to close large spaces between the teeth, braces are the best option. If the shape, colour and size of the teeth are acceptable, braces will give good results. It may also be possible to close the space using clear aligners.

Hello!
the gap can be due to cavity also. Get the teeth checked again for cavity.
If the gap is natural, due to constant food lodgement and due to poor oral hygiene, the gums may have receeded in that particular area, causing a pocket formation, that causes pain whenever the food is lodging there.
Get deep cleaning of that area and in case a cavity is there, get it restored.
Use floss daily and brush twice a day.
Rinse the mouth after every meal.

If the gap is more, then you can do composite restoration.
But it is done for esthetic purpose, you can do in maxillary teeth alone. Consult me f...more
