Here is a chart that will show you the appoximate age that you should have / would have lost your baby teeth.

I would guess that you probably have bands on your 1st molars (also called 6 yr molars) since you would have already gotten those. If the molar is loose enough, you should be able to get it out. I wish I knew your age as this would have helped me out a lot. Ask your orthodontist if you are on schedule, they can let you know not only because it is affected by tooth loss and eruption, but by how compliant you are with wearing elastics or getting to your appointments.
