Can I have tooth straightening with a baby tooth in my gum

i am wondering if its possible to straighten my teeth even though i have a baby tooth? and my actually tooth is in my gum.

 

You can have braces with baby teeth present. However the underlying tooth may get in the way of tooth movement . This would need to be assessed by a dentist prior to commencement of treatment.
