DIY Braces Are Trending And That Is NOT A Great Idea

So there apparently is a new problematic trend on Tik Tok with DIY braces. Braces are now seen as a trendy accessory, with DIY methods like home gluing or clip-ons gaining millions of TikTok views. If you had braces as a kid, you may also ask yourself WHYYYYYYYY??? THEY ARE NOT FUN.

Also, these fashion braces can cause severe issues, including bite misalignment, poisoning, choking, oral cuts, and infections. A whole bunch of don’t-do-that right there.
