i guess you could there are no rules saying you can't, but your teeth grow worse if you have some baby teeth left, even if it's one and you're trying to straighten it with braces. Your baby tooth is trying to grow while the braces are trying to make your teeth more straight and that could involve trapping your baby teeth. It would be very painful. I'd advise you not to get braces with one baby tooth left. Your orthodontist would not even let you do it anyway.

I don't think those will be a problem. For the baby tooth, when he glues the braces on he can just leave that spot unglued so it can fall out . As for the adult one, he can probably leave a space open for it. But I'd rather wait until all ur adult teeth are filled in before u get braces incase they grow in crooked and u have to get braces all over again....but I think the best thing to do is ask ur dentist....

It is best to wait until that baby tooth is out and the new one grows in, then all your perminant teeth will be perfectly aligned at the same time and you will not have to go through some weird process for that one tooth. you can, but i do not recommend it, it's just more time, more pain, and more money.

I had braces when I was 10 and I still had a lot of baby teeth. They grew in straight, I just had to wear a retainer forever (or what seemed like forever). And I'm not old, I'm 19 so it's not like, ancient dentistry.

depending on which tooth, or they can pull it out to make room for the other teeth to straighten

An orthodontist will wait for it to come out, or will send you to get it removed if it's stubborn.

um my Orthidonist is kinda snobby but he is a dentist and he says no...because if it falls out while you have your braces on...it will mess up your braces!
