I will be extracting my first molar. Braces or implant to close gap?

rr10
I will be extracting my first molar due to a failed root canal. The option given to me was to get braces or an implant to close the gap. I want to get braces because it's "natural", but my wisdom tooth is impacted. Can it be uprighted with braces? What are the pros and cons of of both braces and implant? Thank you in advance!
