The answer

It is not obligatory to remove dental braces for ablution (istinshaq), because rinsing is achieved by moving water inside the mouth. However, if it is easy to remove them in a state of ritual impurity (janabah) without hardship, it is better. Ibn Baz issued a fatwa stating there is no need to remove dentures, and Ibn Uthaymeen issued a fatwa that it is not obligatory to remove fixed dental prosthetics for rinsing, because water can reach between them and the gums.
