⚠️ The trap
Braccia are the arms of the body. English 'braces' can mean dental braces, trouser suspenders, or structural supports — none of which are 'braccia'. Use 'apparecchio' for dental braces and 'bretelle' for suspenders.
To say "supports or fasteners; dental braces; straps for trousers" in Italian:
bretelle (trouser braces); apparecchio (dental braces); rinforzo (structural brace)
"braccia" in English means:
arms (plural of braccio — body part)
Example
"Aprì le braccia per abbracciare i suoi figli."
"She opened her arms to hug her children."
