Your daughter is 10yrs old can she have braces fitted even though she has milk teeth still?
Yes, children who are younger than 10 have braces. They work around the milk teeth and wait for them to come out to straighten those permanent teeth.
What are the ill effects of extracting teeth as an necessary step to wear braces?
So many dentists remove lots of teeth to make the mouth conform to the desired shape. If your dentist/orthodontist recommends this, get a second opinion. There is no reason not to wait until the permanent teeth come in before getting braces. Or, consider an appliance for early intervention.
Do you have to always have teeth out if you get braces?
Yes, all of your teeth must be fully grown in to get braces. Braces are glued to each individual tooth. Therefore, if one tooth were to fall out while the wearer had braces, the new tooth would be unaffected by the braces.
What do dentists do when you get braces and you still have baby teeth?
Braces on baby teeth can be used to make room for incoming teeth if there isn't enough room naturally. Sometimes a kid will not have certain baby teeth or will lose them earlier than normal and the space will close, and braces or extractions may be necessary to make room for the permanent teeth

How many teeth do you have to loose before having braces?
It depends on your orthodontist. Mine is going to make me wait until I lose them all.
Why do you get braces if you are going to lose the teeth anyway?
You won't get them unless all of your baby teeth are gone. Most people get them after that because they don't want to wait 80 years until all of their teeth are gone again.

Is it OK to get braces if your wisdom teeth may come in soon?
I don't know if it's OK. I have braces myself and my wisdom teeth are coming in right now. Unfortunatly, I have to get them pulled, if anything that's what would happen. You should wait until the wisdom teeth come in, and then get them pulled, because the metal bands may not fit around the wisdom teeth, and most people have more comfort when their wisdom teeth are pulled. I have braces and my wisdom teeth came through and my otho hasn't done anything to them.
Can you get a chipped tooth fixed while wearing braces?
No. To have cap put on a chipped tooth requires the whole frontal surface to be free in order for the procedure to work. They would have to remove your braces and then put them back on after fixing the problem. Dentists also don't prefer removing brackets from capped teeth when you get your braces off as it can damage the cap. The best idea is to wait until you get your braces off and then have the tooth or teeth fixed.
