but will the gap maturally go away?


Answers:

This will space will not close together now. All your adult teeth have erupted and looking at your picture , you have a low attachment of your frenum (connects your gums to your lips) This can prevent the teeth coming together. The treatment options are:
1) Have bonding (white fillings) placed between your teeth to disguise the gap
2) Surgery to move the frenum upwards then braces for a short while to finally bring the teeth together
The decision is yours!
