Wearing braces for beautification
Question
Are we permitted to wear braces for beautification purposes?
Answer
If braces are worn due to necessity (such as straightening one’s teeth or keeping the teeth in place), then there is no harm in doing so. However, it is Makrooh to wear braces for adornment or fashion. [Re:- Kifaayatul Mufti Pg.157 Vol.9]

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
