See dentist: Unfortunately, based on your presentation is hard to tell if braces will be helpful. You will need to have an exam done by the dentist. You may need to have the tooth in question pulled and either go for an implant or ... Let the dentist tell you.

Need dental exam: It is impossible to answer this without seeing you and having the proper x-rays.. The position of your unerupted front tooth will determine if it can be pulled down with braces or if you are looking at replacing it, perhaps with an implant. See a dentist and orthodontist for an exam to get your question answered.
