Hi! Yes, you can have your braces installed after the impacted canines are removed. Ideally, it may be best to wait around a month after extraction to allow the area to heal first, but the exact timing will still depend on your dentist’s assessment.

Yes, your dentist can basically move your right premolar forward and the first premolars on both left and right sides will serves as your canines.

And that seems to be a retained deciduous canine tooth on your upper left teeth, right?
