Don't panic yet...sometimes the orthodontist will simply leave that tooth out of the archwire (the main connecting wire). In some cases they will send you home for a couple of weeks to have you work on getting that tooth out of there. If you can't get it out in a couple weeks time then they may suggest removing it, but the procedure to remove it isn't half as bad as you are imagining. If the tooth is loose keep on wiggling it - get it out of there on your own. It's not that bad. Good luck with your ortho!

~~~I dont think you are suppose to get braces untill all your baby teeth have come out and your secondary teeth are grown in. Your dentist should be able to tell if you still have baby teeth,,,,,
