visit a dentist and get it checked.get your root canal treatment done followed by a crown.orthodontic treatment is most safest and conservative procedure.it will take around 1 1/2 to 2 years to get it done depending upon the case and the dentist.

The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the problem. treatment ranges from 1 year to 3 years. in your case, if its only space in the front , may need close to 1 year. Root canal treated teeth do not cause any issues for Orthodontic treatment.
Next Steps
Visit an Orthodontist for evaluation.

Hello Mam,
As a Root canal specialist,we can complete the RCT treatment 90% OF THE TIMES IN A SINGLE SITTING.After this a crown has to be placed,requiring 2 more visits.Coming to braces treatment usually the duration would be 15-18 months,with a single visit every month.Regards,Dr Sumanmakam,Dental arts,jayanagar,B'lore.
