Teeth can be straightened wearing braces if there’s a defect or fault with the teeth themselves or with the alignment of the jaws etc.
This does not come there the prohibition of changing the creation of Allaah, since it’s a defect that should be fixed.
Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“Some people may have teeth that stick out – either the incisors or other teeth – in a way that makes them appear ugly to others.
In this case there is nothing wrong with straightening the teeth, because this is removing a fault and not increasing beauty.
This is indicated by the fact that the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam told a man whose nose had been cut off to get a nose made of silver, then when that caused a foul smell he told him to get a nose made of gold. This was a case of removing a fault; the aim was not to increase beauty.”
(Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, vol. 17, question no. 6)
And Allaah knows best
