Fake braces, also known as DIY braces or cosmetic braces, are a non-permanent orthodontic treatment that aims to give the appearance of having braces without undergoing traditional orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces, which are applied by an orthodontist and require regular adjustments, fake braces are typically made from materials like beads, wires, or plastic and can be applied and removed at home.
While fake braces do not provide the same dental benefits as traditional braces, they can serve as a temporary cosmetic solution for individuals who desire a straighter-looking smile for special occasions or short-term aesthetic purposes. They are also a popular choice for individuals who are not suitable candidates for traditional braces due to factors such as age, dental health, or financial constraints.
