If it is just one tooth and not loose at all, maybe they will just extract it. When I was a kid, I had 9, yes 9! baby teeth extracted before they put my braces on. (And now I get to have braces again!) It will be Okay.. they will numb the area well and before you know it the tooth will be out, the gum area where the tooth was will be sore for a couple of days, it will heal up and you'll be ready for your braces. Good Luck to you!
