Braces become teen fashion fad in Thailand

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Health authorities are clamping down on a Thai teen fashion fad - wearing fake orthodontic braces.

Officials said Thursday they plan to target those who sell and make the pseudo dental gear with steep fines and prison time.

Girls flashing multicolored metallic grins are regularly featured in teen magazines as braces have become more common in Thailand, transforming the dental gear into a fashion statement.

Rather than getting fitted for the real and expensive option, teens have been buying do-it-yourself kits in stores and selecting colored rubber bands to match their outfits or moods.

Rasamee Vistaveth, secretary-general of the Consumer Protection Board, said the agency was planning to sign an order Thursday punishing sellers of fake braces with six months in prison or a $1,300 fine.

Importers and producers could face up to one year behind bars and a $2,600 fine.

 
Don't they do this in America too? I saw some music video about laffy taffy or something like that where these rappers had like big metal teeth with diamonds in them.

Heh, my dad's a vet so I got him to make me one when I was about 12. I wore it to Pizza Hut with him while my mom and sister were out of town and the waitress felt so bad for me she gave me a huge bowl of after-dinner mints. Dad was too embarrassed to correct her.
 
If it's just cosmetic jewellery why make it illegal? Unless it's actually gonna make the kids teeth look like buck rogers who cares?
