I wear braces and I have plaque on my teeth. Can a dentist remove plaque with braces?

Yes and you should have your teeth cleaned regularly with braces, however, it is always best for your orthodontist to remove the arch wire before going for the cleaning then return to have the wires replaced. It is difficult to do a good job if the arch wires are still in place.
Yes. A dentist can still remove plaque on your teeth when you have braces on.
Yes, it just makes it a little more difficult and one has to be careful using ultrasonic vibrators, but it can be done and should be done!
