why do dentists make a mold of your teeth before getting braces and is it important?

i think i need braces and i want to get them. other people think so to and they keep on telling me that. why do dentists make molds of your teeth. is it important? how long does it take for your dentist to say u need braces?

they make molds before so you can see the difference in how your teeth have shifted from before you get them on and after you get them off. they will make a mold the day you get them off for making a retainer for you, and to have in case you lose or break a retainer and need a new one, they use the mold to make it
