TEETH GAP: Confused about options?

Friends,





I am 27, Male. I have gap in my front teeth. I have consulted a orthodontics doctor. It was very basic examination. I was asked to get the X-rays and Models ( which cost around $400).





Secondly, my insurance doesn't have ortho coverage and they told me treatment would cost as high as $5000. I have tried to get ortho coverage added to my insurance; looks like it was not possible with my existing group insurance.





Now, I am wandering around with the following questions ?





1. Is it really possible to get gaps closed at 27 ?


2. Are there any suggestions about the type of the treatment (should be inexpensive, since I can't afford $5000 )?


3. Anyways, doctor said he would decide about treatment plan after the X-rays (spending like $400 on this).. Not sure what Doctor would say afterwards.


4. What would be the best possible solution to this problem with the given constraints.





Thanks.

It would help if you had stated the width of the gap. Edit 2-3mm can be reduced in 5 mins. I had a 2mm gap, the dentist closed it by just adding some material to each side, then cured it using ultra violet light.Sorry can't remember what the material was,but you cant see it. I don't think he even charged me. Edit..Just use a ruler,or a caliper.
