Most Important thing to prevent cavities Is to Limit No. Of Intakes Per Day
An Intake is anything apart from water taken at one go
For eg .. you have 6 cups of coffee / tea during the day then if you have all 6 in one go then that is considered to be 1 intake but if you have 1 after the other with intervals during the day they will be 6 different intakes
So 6 different times carbohydrates were broken down and acid was produced which increases your chances to get cavities

You can get your tooth filled. The other part is your oral hygiene maintenance, with braces you should be very particular with your brushing.
