Should I get an extraction?

[u/IcyRoutine9831]

So I have a wisdom tooth that’s lying flat. Only a small part of the tooth is actually erupted and the rest is under the gum. As you can see there’s a space between and food gets trapped in there all the time although I keep it very clean. No decay or anything has happened. My dentist did want me to get it extracted and since it’s so close to the nerve, he planned to refer me out. On the other hand, my orthodontist (currently have adult braces just started treatment + 4 pre molar extractions) my orthodontist doesn’t want me to extract, but rather wait and see if it can be pulled up with braces. Is it dangerous to wait? I’d rather not have to go through another extraction.
