Ghusal

Validity of ghusal with braces

Q: I have a large gap inbetween my front two teeth. I would like to get braces to close this gap. It is not a major medical problem, and does not affect me, but the dentist has said that because of the way my jaw is positioned, my bottom teeth are pushing my top teeth out and therefore the gap will become bigger with time.

1. Is it permissable for me to get braces?

2. Will my ghusl be valid with braces on?

Seeing white spots on one's clothes

Q: I have been having little doubts about wet dream. I woke this morning and I got changed and went with my day. Didn't notice any wetness or anything, but when I got home in afternoon to pray I got little doubts so I went to check the garment that slept in. When I checked, the garment had very little white dry patches. Since I saw these patches I got more waswasas. Also I put this garment with my clean clothes. I was wondering is this garment impure? Will my prayer be invalid? Is this just waswasas? If it is not waswasas, will the other clothes become impure as well?
