Moving Wisdoom Tooth Back (Creating Space for Implant)? (photo)

titan837
I have a missing 1st molar on my right side, and there's not enough room for an implant. Would it be possible to move the 2nd molar and the wisdom tooth further back to create the necessary space? I have the same exact tooth missing on my left side; however, there's enough space on the left side for an implant; because the teeth (wisdom and 2nd molar) haven't shifted (wearing retainers now to prevent shifting).
