Hello,Orthodontic treatment (braces) is the most safest and conservative treatment.visit an Orthodontist and get the checkup done. get your X-rays done. it is better to see the case clinically for proper treatment and diagnosis.In some cases, to regain the space you may have to go for extraction. let the dentist decide what is best for you.

Yes..that's very likely. But, unless one sees your teeth, it's vague answer you will get regarding extraction. Consult an orthodontist for the same as he ll suggest you regarding extraction, if it's really required.
Secondly, the extracted space is utilized to correct the alignment of teeth, thus that space gets utilized.
Next Steps
Visit an Orthodontist for evaluation.
