The problem with moving teeth to fill the gap is that they then don't correctly align with the other set (top/bottom), which can lead to grinding during normal use which leads to earlier fillings and eventually crowns, often with root canals. Lots more $$ for the dentist and lots more grief down the road. I would ask the dentist about this before choosing.
