Hi,
Ritual immersion in a mikvah requires that the water be able to come in contact with all surfaces of the body. An interruption between the water and the body is called a chatzitzah.
Orthodontic braces do not constitute a chatzitzah if the wires are somewhat loose. There may be grounds for leniency even where the wires are tight; see the responsum for more.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Yoreh Deah 1:96)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
