My upper right canine is fractured & I'm willing to wear braces. Should I save the tooth or extract it to make space for braces?

My upper right canine is got fractured recently. X-rays shows that only lower gum(Crown part has been fractured) and the tooth can be saved by root canal and crowning. I am also willing to wear braces and as i have heard, it requires tooth extraction. So should i get my tooth extracted or save it. Will braces will be able to bridge that gap. Also how long should i wait for braces after getting root canal and crowing in two tenths( Upper canines and first molar). Kindly help!!
