As part of a costume, you can wear fake braces or a false retainer. They may also be entertaining if you enjoy the look of braces but do not need them. Using bobby pins, wax, and earrings, you can build fake braces and a fake retainer. Fake braces are commonly used by women who want to look more attractive but don't want to spend money on real ones. There are two types of fake braces: removable and non-removable. Removable fake braces are easy to take off and put back on again so they are good for entertainment or when you want to look different without being seen everyday. Non-removable fake braces are stuck on your teeth permanently so they are only useful if you like the look of them. You can buy fake braces in any costume shop or beauty supply store. They will cost about $10-$20 for a set including glue and bobby pins. Fake braces are easy to make yourself. You will need: rubber bands, wire, and glue. Start by gluing one end of each rubber band to a piece of wire. Make sure that you cover the entire surface of the band with glue. You do not want any stubble showing through! Now bend the ends of the wires into loops, just like a normal brace.
