Tooth decay

One of my tooth (canine) is about to fall. When consulted doctor, he said it is extra tooth and can't fit in a new tooth in that place. Instead he suggested me to go for tooth bracers for 8 months to fill that gap. Kindly let me know what treatment should i under go.

Respected madam Kindly get an xray done more specifically an OPG to assess the extra tooth status. Before going for braces it is better to get a complete diagnostic picture
