Sometimes the doctor does, but usually this duty is preformed by his/her assistant, but the doctor always evaluates the placement. Hygienist clean your teeth. And yes it depends on which state you are referring.

In most states the dental assistant can place the brackets, but the orthodontist has to check their position before the composite is cured. (Most offices use a light cure system where the composite hardens when a light is shone on the composite for a fixed amount of time. This is the final step that causes the bracket to adhere to the tooth.)
A hygienist is specially licensed to clean teeth. Most hygienists don't work as dental assistants.

Braces are placed by an orthodontist, which is a specialized dentist. A dental hygienist is not the same as an assistant; they are trained and licensed to clean teeth.

Every state has different laws governing the roles of the various members of the dental team. In some states, dental hygienists can place bands or brackets on patient's teeth. Of course it is under the supervision of the dentist or orthodontist.
Check with your state Board of Dentistry if you want to know the specifics.

Dentists and orthodontists in particular put on orthodontics. The hygentist usually assists, unless the hygentist has had special training.
