Default Implant and orthodontics

I have a root canal that has eventually caused a root fracture. I have been recommended to extract my LR1 and then use a brace to realign my already crowded lower teeth. There are no other issues with my upper teeth and apparently I would still have a small gap in place after the treatment is finished in 12 months. Personally I do not want to be treated for this long and was wondering if the combination of an implant and something like the Inman aligner being used whilst the implant settles in could result in less crowding and a swift resolution to the problem rather than using unsightly braces for 12 months?
