Braces, a cavity, and fillings can all cause bad breath. This is because they are "plaque traps." As plaque and food accumulate in these areas, it starts to smell, causing bad breath. Specifically, not having a filling coud cause bad breath because the food can get stuck inside the cavity. Also, since decay is rotten tooth, it also smells.
No fillings do not cause bad breath. No offense, but my guess it that you are not brushing around your braces properly and flossing, and that it causing a infection somewhere. If you have a bad taste plus bad breath that is usually a sign of infection. If it is just bad breath, start brushing and flossing better.
Bacteria in the mouth going untreated causes bad breathe. Probably an area where you are not brushing or flossing. You do need to see a Dentist, just don’t go back to the current one. Nothing wrong with changing when you are not happy. It’s what you should do anyway. Good luck.
Yes, decay can cause really bad breath. If you are uncomfortable with that dentist, find one you can be OK with and get the work done.
