'Braces' are pieces of metal (called brackets) which are fixed onto your teeth. They are connected by a metal wire running through them. Braces are used by orthodontics and are fixed onto teeth. The brackets and the wire put pressure on the teeth and move them into being in the perfect, straight position, leaving you with perfect straight teeth! every six weeks or so the orthodontist will tighten the wire on the braces (roughly six weeks is how long it takes for teeth to move into their new positions) and this will gradually move the teeth into the correct positon.

what type of brace do I need after a extraction?? Is to put a tooth in this place
Yes, because if you don't have the brace your tooth won't move to where it should be
They do it via a surgical operation. They will cut some of the gum and pull the tooth down. After the operation, they will attach a chain to the tooth and a brace. I'm having this operation in a few months.

It can move slightly. I didn't wear my retainers for about a week and a half and by the time I put them back on, they were really uncomfortable.
The orthodontist takes takes a special pair of pliers and puts one end of the pliers over the end of a tooth and the other tine of the pliers against the brace glued onto the tooth and squeezes: Voila! the brace snaps off the tooth. Some orthodontists use a different method that just requires squeezing each brace with a pair of pliers. There are many videos on YouTube that show orthodontists removing the braces. The pliers are available on eBay, but be careful! Teeth can break.
