There is no harm in orthodontic treatment and capping of teeth if the purpose is therapeutic and not for the sake of beautification. What is forbidden is that which is solely for the purpose of beautification. It is permissible if it is for treatment, as mentioned by An-Nawawi in his commentary on Sahih Muslim.
