Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The metallic taste and the bad breath could be because of the deposits secondary to the braces. After placing the braces its bit difficult to maintain oral hygiene. Consult your oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and maintain the oral hygiene. You can use mouth wash after that. Rinse your mouth soon after eating anything.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
