FETISH BRACES

 

 From time to time I am contacted by folks who wish to have braces put on their teeth not because they really need them, but because it satisfies some long unfulfilled desire, longing or attachment to/for some loved person or object. You can call call them "removable braces," "costume,"  "prosthetic," and even "Hollywood or cinematic" braces because they are made for actors who need to simulate the orthodontic look. Remember Eddie Murphy in Bowfinger?  In fact, I have three to show my patients what braces use to look like (train tracks look) and what they look like now. These prosthetic          braces LOOK and FEEL REAL and they are removable, but they do not/cannot move your teeth. [I want to see the Braces are Beautiful removable orthodontic appliance.]

How about a BrB made on an Invisalign tray/retainer?

Fashion braces ( Fetish creation braces, Theatrical braces, Statement braces or "BrB LOOK of braces"  by Dr. Ted Rothstein 

   
 
THE UPPER with Face-bow and head strap-ons

The removable retainer device is resting upon the model it was made on.  It is shown with the double face-bow device inserted into the tubes soldered on to its frame.  The color  of the plastic is black, a preference of  KG the "patient"   It is neutral and therefore does not move teeth. KG designed the look of the metal parts .  The face bow may be removed and reinserted at will. The cloth headgear goes around the crown of the head. and white plastic with holes attaches to the loops as shown. It can be worn at the same time as the lower shown to the right.

THE LOWER with Face-bow and Neck pad and elastic band

The blue pad is another version and it attaches by the red white and blue elastic band.  The tension of the elastics around the  neck and therefore on the teeth can be increased at will. However, THESE DEVICES WERE  MADE SPECIAL TO PERMIT ATTACHMENT OF THE FACE BOW AND IT IS NOT KNOWN IF THEY ARE ABLE TO  BEAR ANY POSITIVE PRESSURE ON THEM LEST THEY BREAK ESPECIALLY AT THE SOLDER JOINT WHERE THE TUBE ATTACHES TO THE WIRE.

THE BLUE NECK PAD  WITH STRETCHING BAND CAN BE SUBSTITUTED FOR EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER HEAD GEAR STRAPS SHOWN BELOW IT.
