(Concern) Complex issues involving dental implants (single tooth extraction) and orthodontics (molar malocclusion)

Sigh... I really feel like sighing even before writing...ㅜㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋ I once had a hard candy and it broke, so I got a crown on it, but then I ate some hard burnt rice and the remaining tooth inside broke (all the way to the root).. In the end, I was told I can't use the remaining tooth, so I had the crown removed and my tooth taken out.. That was in early March, and I was thinking of getting an implant without much thought, but the dentist told me I have a malocclusion in my molars.. I had orthodontics when I was young... I didn't realize it, but after hearing the explanation and seeing it myself, I realized my molars don't align properly...

But if I get implants, orthodontic treatment becomes difficult... So I have to decide whether to do orthodontics before the implant, but my molar is really tilted and leaning, so it’s going to be a major procedure... Since it’s a local dental clinic, they told me to go to an orthodontic specialist... ㅜㅜㅜ But I have to visit various places for consultations, and I don’t have much time, so I’ve only managed to visit two places so far, and both said it’s quite serious and recommended orthodontics.

I had braces when I was young, but now I have to get orthodontic treatment again... and on top of that, the treatment methods are so different that I'm confused. One place is pulling the molars to fill the empty space and align the bite without implants, while the other is straightening the tilted molars and then placing implants. I'm thinking of visiting about two more places first, but just the thought of wearing braces again in my 30s and undergoing two years of orthodontic treatment makes me really anxious...

Putting aside the money, I can't believe I have to go through that hell again... Sigh... 😢😢😢 If I tighten it once a month, it hurts so much I can't even chew properly... When I was young, my front teeth were all over the place, so the dentist I went to back then only focused on aligning my front teeth... I'm so angry... I’ve been commuting from Pohang to Daegu every month since elementary school just to get braces... I went through all that hardship, and now I have to do it again...

I've been unaware until now, but I'm wondering if it's truly the right thing to do to start now... It's a major renovation that won't be finished in a month or two... Sigh... What do you think you would do in my place??
