X-ray can be taken with braces. Any caries in tooth proximally will be visible. The bone present will also be appreciated.

Bracket, Molar band & Arch wire are metal &, in xrays it will appear Radio-opaque (white)

X Ray can be taken with braces but crown portion of the crown will not be clear as metal braces appear radioopaque that is color is white. If there is an emergency then u can see the root n bone portion easily
