Whatever the reason or the reason why you need to build yourself a fake orthodontic appliance, read on, you will soon know how!
Steps
Step 1. Get a paper clip or flexible wire
Curve it up to give it the shape of a 'C'.
Step 2. Round the ends with sandpaper
If you want you can wrap the wire with ribbon to make it even more comfortable once worn.
Step 3. Use orthodontic wax or chewing gum to hold the wire in place
Pour a drop of wax where you want the wire to stay on your teeth.
Step 4. If you want to hold the wire in place and have a perfectly smooth surface, chew a piece of gum and give it an elongated cylindrical shape
Now place them in front of your teeth, as seen in the photo.
Step 5. Using the aluminum foil, make small round balls, one for each tooth, which will simulate the pins of the orthodontic appliance
If you prefer you can use colored beads.
Step 6. Make another 'C' with wire
Step 7. Get two back hooks for earrings and some glue
Attach one to each end of the wire. If you don't find any earrings clips, don't worry, you can also do without them.
Step 8. Don't forget to use chewing gum and items that cannot harm your health in any way
Step 9. Do not use sharp or dirty objects, they could cause injury or health problems
Step 10. Finished
