Brackets and wire are put on your teeth to correct your teeth or bite, or make space for a tooth to come in. Those are braces. I currently have them, and in my opinion, they suck. You can eat hardly anything, they'll be sore for a couple of days, food will get in between your wires, and you constantly have to brush your teeth to prevent {gingivitis.} You should eat some regular foods for your teeth to remain strong, because if you don't your teeth may crack when they take them off. I'm not trying to scare you if you need braces, just telling you from my experience.
