Can you still get braces after having a broken tooth reattached? how about tightening the braces?

Broken Tooth: Not sure what you mean by reattachment or which tooth was involved. Orthodontics should not be an issue, so consult with a local orthodontist for your treatment options.

Broken tooth: Important that restorative Dentist and specialist Orthodontist communicate with each other to arrive at the best treatment plan for you, so make sure to consult with both. There is no contraindication to moving a properly restored tooth. Sometimes best to temporarily restore tooth, then move teeth into best alignment, and finally do the permanent restoration last. Orthodontist will know.

Yes: Depending on the exact circumstances you may have to have additional work done on the broken tooth but your Orthodontist will work around it.
