Can orthodontics be an alternative of getting a fake tooth?

I went to my dentist and he recommended me to do root canal on of my premolar. heard some people if the root canal is not de successfully, you may lose your tooth permanently. This will be my ft root canal and am worry. am thinking for the worse scenario that may have to lose my tooth. worn braces 20 ys ago when was teenager. am thinking in of losing the tooth, can go for orthodontics treatment instead of getting fake tooth. Also, am thinking should have specialist do the root canal or just do it with my regular dentist. If any how to get review or rating of the dentist? Thanks!

    Root canal treatments these days have a very good chance of success, about 95% so dont worry too much about it. if just in case u lost the tooth, u can have a bridge or implant. Orthodontic somethimes is used to close the gap between teeth but u need to consult with an specialist or at least ur dentist about the possibilities.
    Take care
