Question Salam,

I am 22 and some years back I got "braces" as my teeth looked very bad, I want to ask is it haraam to correct one's teeth by getting braces?

Answer Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Braces may sometimes be used as a kind of treatment and some other times as a beatification. In both cases, there is no problem with using braces as they do not fall under the category of "changing the creation of Allah", which is prohibited in Islam.

Allah Almighty knows best.
