Best option for your case is space closure by aligners and after that frenectomy to prevent relapse. Go for bonded permanent retainer.

Joseph W. Worthington, DDS · Answer

Laser frenectomy and porcelain Veneers will transform your smile beautifully.  When designing the veneers it will be important to compensate for the spaces by preparing the teeth properly.  I don't think you can achieve a natural result with no prep or minimal prep veneers.  Go for it! you will be happy with the result!

Marty Lindahl, DDS · Answer

Options vary on your desired outcome:
1. Laser frenectomy and ortho treatment. This is conservative and takes the longest treatment time. 
2. Laser frenectomy, whitening, and minimum/no prep veneers depending on the way your teeth come together. It looks like you also have other spaces between your teeth that need to be addressed. Maybe 4 veneers could work nice from the pictures you presented. Treatment 2-3 appointments.
Good Luck!

Hi,
I would get a frenectomy and place 4-6 porcelain veneers. It looks like your teeth are very square and not symmetrical. Veneers will give you an immediate fix that will address the gaps, color and shape of your teeth. 
Another option is a frenectomy along with Invisalign or braces. This option takes longer and will not improve the color or shape of your teeth. 
Either way, seek experts who regularly do these procedures!

Hi:It’s best to consult with an orthodontist to close the gap with Invisalign.  You might also need to cut your frenum if it is causing the spacing in between your front teeth.Best,Dr. Maddahi
