Can someone please answer this!!!!

HEYY I WAS WONDERING BEFORE YOU GET BRACES DOES ALL OF YOUR BABY TEETH HAVE TO OF COME OUT OR IS THERE A WAY AROUND IT ???

yes you need to have all your baby teeth and adult teeth fully in...there is no way around that.

I have heard in some cases the ortho can work around 1 or 2 baby teeth, but it is usually not done.

yep.. your adult teeth are the ones that you will want to apply braces to.

Actually, no. You can have braces and still have baby teeth. How do you think that the 8 year olds do it? I was 12 when I got my braces on and lost all but 2 teeth. I lost one of those teeth. Just be patient, I developed more slowly than most kids at my school.
