Could my erupted wisdom teeth replace a molar?

Sensible778964
I have fully erupted wisdom teeth. I was told by 2 dentists it would be quick to extract and would only need numbing. I need a molar extracted as it’s completely broken in half and the pulp is gone due to decay. I was wondering if with braces would my wisdom teeth be able to migrate/shift to replace that gap? Or could they implant my molar into place?
