I have a missing tooth, will the gap eventually close or should I have something done?

Q.
I have one tooth missing in the front at the bottom. My teeth are all crooked and need space between them. I feel that eventually the space will close up since the actual space is not that of a full normal teeth, it is the space created form the removal of a crooked tooth. Do u think that it is possible over time(has been 2 years already) that the space will close up if not, then what can I do besides an implant to get rid of the space.

Dear Enquirer,
As an adult, the teeth will not move into a correct line, no matter if you wait another 2 years. My advice is that you arrange an appointment with an orthodontist who will help you with some options to straighten your teeth.

My 5th tooth from the front has spaces on each side of them, it was never there before any idea on what this could be?
