My teeth are yellowish or black spots as well, with some spaces of teeth eaten out as well, Does this mean that I can never get braces, with weak teeth, or braces is still possible?

1. Get all cavities treated (fillings, root canals, or extractions if needed). 2. Get a professional cleaning and fluoride treatment. 3. Then begin braces safely. Visit dentist first.

A picture could give a better idea. But If not braces are not possible in your case, then there are other ways to get your teeth aligned. For example, aligners or veneers. But before going for any procedure healthy teeth are important.
Next Steps
visit your nearest dentist for a complete oral health checkup.
