You can get your cavities filled while undergoing braces treatment. Don't wait till your braces treatment is over, or else the cavities might deepen.
Health Tips
you can ask your dentist/orthodontist to apply some flouride varnish on your teeth to prevent further cavities. and also give you suggestions on how to brush properly.
