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

Q. 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.

 

A. 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.
