I read an article which said that teenage girls in Thailand want braces. Now, it is not that they necessarily want their teeth straightened, they just want the look of braces. So, rather than spend money on dentists, the kids are buying fake braces.

These fake braces have the look of bands and wires but are really just decorations that slip on over the teeth. And while this fad may seem harmless, several girls have choked to death on them. But, given the things that girls will do for the sake of fashion, I guess a couple of deaths is to be expected.
