I ran across an article this morning that I thought was very bizarre. Thanks to a RT on Twitter from @AlysonNoel, I stumbled across an article this morning about how girls in Thailand are paying big bucks to have braces. Apparently, decorating your teeth with little colored pieces of plastic and rubber bands is COOL. On top of that braces are very expensive so some girls in desperate need of colorful teeth go to the middle of flea markets where people will just apply a set for them; mind you these people are not trained professionals! Due to the haphazard ways in which the braces are applied and the dirty conditions, its no wonder that two girls have already died for this trend! Back areas of flea markets are not meant for orthodontic procedures!! Not to mention, who ever said braces were cool?! Check out the original article HERE.
