Answer 1

one of the tv character Betty's main feature are the braces, if they were taken off, the character may not be as memorable and as popular. And for you information, in reality the actress playing betty wears the brace for the role, it would a bit problematic to find an actress with wonky teeth and making it last for so many seasons with a brace on.
