Can i still play soccer with braces?

Yes: If you're talking about the kind of braces on your teeth, then you might want to consider wearing a mouth guard while you're playing to protect your lips and teeth. If you're talking about an ankle or knee brace, these are commonly worn by soccer players for various injuries.
