Hi. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. In case of spacing or irregular teeth, they are not treated individually but as entire dentition. I suggest you get an OPG and Lateral cephalogram done and visit an Orthodontist. If rest of your dentition is fine and the gap is the only thing and if it can be closed by their movement only, then your treatmentvwont require permanent braces.
But usually this is not feasable as moving a tooth ultimately require whole dentition adjustment. You can go for capping or venners for only gap closure. Or there are transparent braces these days which are less visible. Treatment with fixed braces can last from 6 months upto a year varying from case to cas. And you may need to have a retention wire on inner sidd of your teeth to prevent relapse. This all needs to be decided after proper case study only.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
