Answer 3

It really meant to align to your teeth- which can help with eating and improving ur smile

Answer 4

They're meant to align and straighten the teeth into the place they should be.

It's hard to keep the food out of them while you're going through the process of wearing them. If you get the wire ones you leave in. They do have other kinds now.

By getting them you will notice a difference of what you see when you smile and how some things are easier to chew.

Are you having to get them, or just curious.

Here are some things to tell you why and to show you the different kinds available

Answer 5

They're definitely for helping your smile by aligning your teeth together nice and straight.

I have had braces on now for nearly five months and they make eating difficult, not easy or better. Why? Because some foods you just can't eat because you might pop the wire out of your brackets (the metal things cemented onto your teeth) or you might break the bracket all together.

Food gets caught in them CONSTANTLY, so you're constantly having to brush them. And flossing. Flossing is hard at first, but once you do it everyday, it's like second nature.
