No you can't, its a waste of time and money to get braces on baby teeth, because if they fall out, the braces will hold them in place and only hurt you. They will also be too weak, and the new teeth that will move in will probably just move into the same position as the baby teeth - if not in a worse position. The back teeth are usually the teeth they put the brackets on, and sometimes even a brace, and it'll be unnecessarily painful.

umm usually you have to go the dentist and get them removed before you can get braces

No.You need to see a orthodontist.

no u cant u have to wait until u have all adult teeth...but u have a diff doc. so he/she might say ok but im 14 and got them on when i was 12 by that time all my teeth are adult

u shouldnt cause then u would most likely need them agin when they do fall out.

yes, yOu still can get braces but this is just the first stage, because when thOse teeth fall Off yOu will prObably need them again..
sO i suggest yOu wait until all Of yOur baby teethy have fallen Out.

yeah but i bet they would just pull them then put braces on. Or they could just wait for them to fall out.

No, you have to wait until your baby teeth fall out.

yes u can

when i got braces most of my teeth HADNT fallen out
