Nothing wrong with braces. They make them for a reason and if it's helping it's doing the job. Your average for a first year is actually pretty good. Another thing that can cause you to pull the ball is if you release it too late. A late release allows the balls weight to move the arm out of the swing slot. Gripping too hard with the thumb can also do this. There is a lot to bowing, more than most people think, but being able to hit your target is a big key. It takes time and can get frustrating but does pay off in the end.

If he thinks it's easy tell him to save his money. Three game series, $1 USD, a pin and I will bowl him. He can even choose the pattern from any listed in the Kegel library. Then he will see just how unathletic he is for bowling.
