Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. As you mentioned the gap between your front two teeth, this is called Diastema. You also mentioned getting orthodontic treatment via braces. Braces treatment usually takes 9 months to more than a year for proper allignment of teeth. However, if you are in a hurry, consult your Orthodontist. Force and frequency can be adjusted in moderation for achieving results a bit fast. Post treatment, a retainer will be put on inner surface of your teeth to prevent relapse.
Veneers, laminates are also helpful in gap closure if it is minimum. But since you are already in middle of orthofontic treatment, i suggest you to get it completed for a stable permanent treatment.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
