If you think your teeth are yellow and want them to look better before placing your braces, have the teeth cleaned to remove any plaque and stain. If you feel they still do not look as white as you would like, you can try Crest White strips of have whitening trays made. As as soon as you...
Looks like you have protrusion of the upper and lower jaws and proclined upper and lower front teeth that cause the strain of your lips. Usually braces can help. Some extractions may be needed to reduce proclination. See a good and experienced orthodontist for advise.
If you are having a simple extraction that does not require surgery to remove the tooth, then one week of healing should be enough time prior to braces being placed...as long as the extraction site heals well and is free of infection.
