Hello there,
First off get a consultation with an Orthodontist regarding the treatment plan. Then get all the decayed teeth treated and get a cleaning done. Then you can go ahead with braces!

It is better to get the cavities filled and cleaning done before going for braces as after getting braces maintaining oral hygiene is difficult. It is better to get it fixed beforehand.
