Full Denture?: If it is a full denture, you have no teeth to put braces on, definitely no. If it's a partial denture, also most likely no, but ask your dentist.

NO: Normally by denture we understand a complete prosthesis, by definition their are no teeth left, hence no need for braces. Now if it is a partial denture, it can not be attached the braces b/c then it can not be removed for hygiene. Any type of removable prosthesis can now a day be easily replaced by a fixed type of prosthesis utilizing dental implants, which are excellent anchorage for braces.

Depends: You can have a denture on the opposite jaw, but you need teeth to put the braces on. Also, you need either back teeth or back implants to act as anchorage to allow the braces to work. Good luck.

Sometimes: Braces are used to move natural teeth, not prosthetic (replacement) teeth. Your individual circumstance would have to be evaluated by a specialist Orthodontist, then treatment choices can be discussed.
