Do you remember braces like this? When I was in elementary school, you saw them a lot. Fixed brackets with clasps as we know them today, I don't think there were yet. The number of children who used to get braces was small. Your teeth had to be very skewed and your parents had to have a lot of money to pay braces. Most kids grew up with a skewed tooth here and there. Now almost all kids have perfect teeth. Children with braces, glasses or red hair were also less popular at the time or even bullied at school. Luckily this is not the case anymore, although there are still children who are being bullied.
