I would like to see a photo of your teeth to see if lumineers or Invisalign would work best for you. With Invisalign you have to change your trays every two weeks. It depends on if you need adjustments between trays to know how often to see you. If you go with Lumineers it wil take around 2-3 weeks for the entire process. Again, a photo of your teeth would help answer more questions. 

Braces are the way to go to close the diastemas  between your teeth. However, if you don't want the metal brackets on your teeth you can also get Invisalign or Clear Correct to correct your smile. Good luck! 

Using Invisalign or Clear Correct to straighten and align your bite will help stop your grinding.  Teeth grinding often occurs when you're sleeping and is most likely caused by an abnormal bite or crooked teeth.  Invisalign or Clear Correct are orthodontic alternatives to braces, designed to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth. The series of aligners, or plastic clear trays, are prescribed based on each patient's needs. After your Invisalign or Clear Correct treatment is completed you can get bonding or veneers on the teeth that are severly damaged. 

I always recommend Implants to my patients before going for the bridge option. Placing one implant is better than prepping two perfectly normal teeth for a bridge. I would get braces first and they can place a pontic or "fake tooth" in the space you're missing until your treatment is complete. That way we can space your teeth out perfectly for implant placement. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
