Absolutely: Yes, you can. The only problem can be if there are not enough teeth in the back to get anchorage. But, tads or implants can be placed to provide this needed anchorage. See your orthodontist and ask about your specific needs.

It depends: It depends on how many missing teeth and where they are missing. I would suggest that you have a consultation with a dentist or orthodontist to get an indication of the possibilities or lack there of. There may be a way of replacing those missing teeth once all the teeth are aligned into a typical pattern. Again see your dentist for more information.

It is quite possible: Typically one must have teeth in the back of the jaw to help anchor braces. However, with today's technology, it is often possible to use small devices called tads to anchor the braces. Regular dental implants are also often used to help out during orthodontics treatment and then are later restored with crowns. A good prosthodontist and a good orthodontist can team up to obtain an optimal plan!
