This is a legitimate concern, and one I dealt with when my wife got her (real) braces off. I fucked her 610 times while she was in braces. My wife is hot, and we have very regular sex, but it was admittedly hotter when she was in braces. After she got them off, the Hawley retainers kept me satisfied for a while, but finally I had to get her a new set of fake braces.

Would fakes get you at least partially there?

.... as it would feel like I’m attracted to the braces (and not her). If that makes sense. ....

For me we start a philosophical discussion here, because who can understand women?

Of course as men we are always attracted to women, but.....

Frankly, women aren't difficult to understand. The information that allows men to unravel women's thinking has been freely available on the internet for 15+ years. They're uncomfortable truths that scare most Western men, though, who are generally so indoctrinated they can't fathom another way of thinking.

My (fairly lengthy) personal experience has been the opposite: this line of thinking doesn't work in the real world. It's just trying to apply Western egalitarian ideas to the bedroom, and it's as doomed to fail as every other form of egalitarianism. Treating men and women as sexually the same simply doesn't work.

A forum devoted to orthodontics probably isn't the right place for this kind of discussion, however, so I'll not elaborate further.
