A member asked:

I need to have a tooth pulled as its broken and causing a lot of pain, i'm having braces in 6 months time, will my teeth take to this spot in 6mnths?

Probably not: Teeth takes many months to shift. It is unlikely that your teeth will shift to close the spot in just 6 months. The braces will speed this process up and realign your teeth properly.

Depends: It depends of you have a tooth size- arch discrepancy. Today teeth are extracted less often to create space . While its easy to extract for space sometimes this can create a sunken in face. Find a dentist. That will take into account not only straight teeth. But facial support and face esthetics as well.
