I had a patient come in last week, excitedly showing me pictures of their Thanksgiving dinner. They had a mountain of mashed potatoes, but a very careful angle to avoid showing their braces. It got me thinking, with all these new brace designs, is it possible to create one that can slice turkey? Imagine the comfort and function that could bring during the holidays! Anyone else have funny holiday brace stories?
, I totally get it! Designing braces that can help with turkey carving sounds amazing, but I can’t see them passing FDA regulations anytime soon. Maybe we could just invent a special fork for those of us with braces?
, I feel you! Watching someone skillfully dodge braces while eyeing a plate of mashed potatoes is a classic move. But hey, a turkey-slicing brace sounds a bit ambitious; maybe we should just focus on edible braces that don’t scream for attention.
