Is there an easier procedure to get this tooth down other than getting braces and "cranking down" my adult tooth?

No. Not really. It is better getting it wenched down like that than to wait until it becomes a prolem and gets infected and you loose BOTH that hidden adult tooth and the baby tooth. It is really common, but the braces and wench thing is amazingly successful and the best way without causeing your mouth more trauma than needed, which might lead to loosing teeth you want to keep!

TO GET THE ADULT TOOTH INTO PROPER POSITION YOU WILL NEED 2 THINGS.
1 = EXTRACT THE BABY TOOTH AND
2= SURGICALLY GUIDE THE ADULT TOOTH WITH ORTHODONTICS.
EXPENSIVE = YES
WORTH IT = DEFINITELY!

No. there is no other way to my best of knowledge, because of your age. If you were a child the body will take care of it normally when a dentist removes the baby tooth.

You might not have a permanent tooth and that is why you still have the baby tooth. Consult your dentist to see if you even have a permanent tooth.

Get another opinion. Pulling a baby tooth out of an adult mouth is not rocket science.

Pull out the baby tooth. Floss+Doorknob+Slam=your happiness.
