I getting ready to sand the inside of the braces, to clean them up. after i sand the braces what should i coat them with so i can keep them from rusting?

The right way to do it is to media blast the area then prime/paint it. That way the rust is gone forever and the metal is sealed & protected.
Stopping Rust, the cancer of the automobile! If you can clean the area rusted that has some surface rust but is still useable with a wire brush or 3M rust buster pad. Blow the area well with high pressure air to get any debris from any rust pits. Then coat with a rust neutral. Permetex, Loctite and Duplicolor have these in spray can formula. Lowes sells a quart that is very similar to a product called OSPRO, this is my favorite. These products turn the rust to black once it is neutral. Then prime and prep for paint.
Note: It is always best to cut out the old rust, however this is not always possible. Air is the activator of rust. No air = No active rust. Sealing the metal will keep it from breathing. Just my .02
