Okay, these are mostly not real. Its a clip from the early '80s sight-gag heavy comedy sitcom, Police Squad, showing a scene from an 80's era orthodontic office. The clip does show how braces, and in particular headgear, were perceived during the early eighties: as something a bit embarrassing and undignified, even freakish, to endure. This was before today's "braces as mouth jewelry" mentality.
