Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The gap created by the extraction of the deciduous tooth can be corrected by orthodontically moving the tooth into the gap. Since you want it temporarily you can go for a removable partial denture. Denture comes in the form of a plate(made up of acrylic) attached with a tooth. You can use it for short period after that you can correct your impacted canine.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
