Answer 1

mm...i dont think it will really work..but get braces, everybody has them or has had them anyways :)

Answer 2

You could always give it a try...

Answer 3

I'dddd, probably go to a dentist/orthodontist. But the gap really isn't that big, so I'm sure you wouldn't need anything major, i.e., braces.

Answer 4

If for some odd reason closing the space did work by wearing the rubberband, it will not stay closed. Once you stop wearing the rubberband, it will open back up. Keeping it closed would require a retainer.

I'm hoping that in your picture you have your jaw shifted forward for the photo. Because if that was your real bite, your space is the least of your worries.

Go for an orthodontic evaluation. Most evaluations are free. They can give you some ideas.
