Here are probably the most famous braces associated with the holiday season: those of Scut Farkus in the '80s classic movie A Christmas Story. In the classic fight scene in this video, you get a pretty good close up at the bully's mouthful of metal. Those were real braces which were worn by actor Zack Ward, who was actually undergoing orthodontic treatment at the time. Of course, it does create one film blooper: the movie was set in the 1940s, when braces used bands, but the braces worn by Farkus have '80s-era brackets!
Happy Holidays to all!
Here are a few more closeups of the Christmas bully's braces.
