Could i choose which tooth to extract for braces?

Sure...: ...If you were treating yourself orthodontically, you could make the decision. But since it is improbable that you can or would treat yourself, and that your orthodontic training is minimal at best, you will have to let the orthodontist make that decision. I'm sure you can express your desires to them, and it's possible that your wishes can be incorporated into the treatment plan.
