Hi,usually teeth move in the space when a tooth is extracted and new one is not implanted soon,,so visit a dentist and get the space estimation done if an implant needs to be done.But no need to go for braces.

Depending on the loss of space braces may be required to create space to put a dental implant and crown in the missing tooth region. Hence it is advised get a missing tooth replaced immediately or as soon as possible.
