Fave Christmas Braces

Here's probably the most well known orthodontia associated with the Holiday Season: the braces worn by the bully Scut Farkus in the classic movie A Christmas Story.  I wrote about them in a previous post.

Brace Yourself for the Holidays

Here's a site that shows various braces color schemes for various occasions and interests, including the holidays.  Pretty cool. Here's an example of a Christmas tree color scheme:

Although the site focuses on Christmas, there are colors which can be used for Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, or other holidays.  To see more, check out BraceMate.

Braces in a 1975 Magazine Ad

A magazine ad from 1975 with an orthodontic theme. 

The ad extolled the benefits of brushing with Colgate when wearing braces.

This was back when braces had bands, rather than brackets. They also seemed to purposefully make the braces-clad kid appear particularly awkward and nerdy, according to the stereotype of the time.
