Hello
Always better to follow the diagnosis with x rays and thorough clinical examination
Go for braces first in case the space is closed you don’t need an implant

Your treatment needs a team. A good orthodontist will advise you certain X-rays, after viewing them, he will suggest the probable treatment plan for braces that may use up the empty spaces u have because of missing teeth. In such cases, the orthodontic (braces) treatment is started, teeth are got into initial alignment after which evaluation is done regarding the missing teeth spaces for implants. Dental implants are places during the later stages of orthodontic treatment. Visit a clinic which offers a team of specialist dentist. As I have performed treatment in such scenarios, I am able to tell u all this.

It is not possible to advise you without clinical examination and X-rays. If you are confused consult another good dentist to help you decide
