Hi. i had braces as a kid so i was just reading some info on orthodontics and was shocked to find out it has been around more than 2000 years
Yep its been around that long that archaeologists have discovered mummified ancients with metal bands wrapped around individual teeth!
omg, no way. How interesting. I just always thought of orthodontics as a modern thing. I had the metal dental braces but now i see invisible braces
Invisible braces? First ive heard about those. How do they work?
Well, they are actually called Invisilign and they work just the same to correct crooked teeth, overbites etc but they are clear colored so it is really hard to see them from afar. Its more for cosmetic reason i guess
Oooooh guess they stop the bullying that used to occur when braces were worn by kids
Oh yes, exactly. I had to go threw bullying especially when i was told i may need orthodontic headgear which is attached to the patients head with a neck strap. That was tough to go to school wearing that thing. 
Whaaat that sounds more like a torture device!!!
LOL, the headgear aids in correcting more severe problems or for the jaws if they have retention issues.
