Removal of tooth and getting braces are two different treatments.
You need to be checked for the reason of removal of that extra tooth.
Braces would be required if you need your teeth to be aligned properly.
Woul dneed to see your Xrays and models to get a better idea.

HI
According to your information you given it may be permanent supernumerary teeth or permanent teeth that gets impacted due to retained deciduous or it may be wisdom teeth that is impacted....you need to go for complete clinical and radiological examination to check for the tooth...
1.If it is permanent impacted teeth, you need to go for orthodontic treatment to bring back the teeth to its original position as it is used for eating and speaking purpose...
2.If it is Wisdom teeth, then you need to go for Surgical extraction of that teeth as it is the extra teeth not used for mastication and speaking
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management

Difficult to assess your teeth condition with the minimum description you have given. Firstly, the tooth you have mentioned might not be an extra one. It is probably a permanent one which came out of line. Secondly, we have to see and decide whether this is related to braces treatment or not. Thirdly, and most importantly, you have to be clear about what you desire. Whether you want the extra tooth removed, and if yes, why? Or do you want your teeth in proper alignment for good aesthetics? Or is there any other reason?
