External Resorption: Tooth #26. What Are My Best Options?

Blanca in Distress
I was recently rold by my dentist that I have External Resorption on tooth #26 and will have to have it removed. I am dreading the fact that I'll have a missing tooth in the front. My dentist sent me for a consultation with a orthodontist and I am waiting to consult with him before the extraction. I was wondering what is the best solution? Should I have the toothed pulled?If I do how long will it take for the gap to close up and what is the fastest way in closing the gap? Is there any other way?
