Space Man Teeth!

I heard that today's wire is a space-age alloy of nickel and titanium, developed by NASA for use on satellites!!!

It is said that this wire applies a more constant force, moving the teeth gradually!!

Wow, not on a space ship but space tech on teeth!

Why don't we all go and try! 8)

I have braces right now and never really asked what I actually have in my mouth. The only thing that I really care about is that they will get my teeth looking great and soon!

I think it's fantastic that they are upgrading the technology for braces. With the increase and advancement in technology, such as clear braces, it makes it much more accessible to the working class who don't want to/cant afford to wander around with 'metal mouth'. There are so many options available now to fit any lifestyle!

Way to go, technology! It's fantastic that technology has included braces and other mouth appliances. Braces used to be so clunky and painful. I'm glad they aren't as bad now!

Well, thats great. I never thought of the metal detectors. I wonder if they would give you trouble if you told them they were braces. They would still have to wand you down i imagine. What a pain!!!
