Usually to correct and straighten teeth, improve the bite and also make them look more attractive when you smile. If you have straighter teeth you can clean them more effectively and quicker, less plaque equals less cavitys.

The reason why people need braces is because sometimes they have an overbite or crooked teeth. I am getting braces in a couple of weeks and my doctor said they did hurt when they were tightened but that's it

they will do anything for that perfect smile

or they could have their teeth so poorly positioned that they can't bite down properly(or always bite their tongue), or that they're at a high cavity risk. a smile is just one part, but a big reason for me was that i couldn't eat apples that weren't sliced, whole raw carrots, and that my teeth were actually growing into each other and would have broken each other if i hadn't had some pulled and the braces put in.

This is usually for cosmetic purposes but they are also used to correct problematic bites. Braces will straighten your teeth, and remove any problems you may get associated with the placement and alignment of your teeth such as headaches, jaw stress, etc.
