We heard from our old intern Kelsey the other day.

We recently released her out into the world and she got herself into some trouble.

that if you kissed somebody else with braces, you could get stuck together causing yourself

great physical and emotional pain.

We want to know if that actually happened if it was possible.

Well, of course anything is possible.

And in fact, some 30 plus years ago, I had a situation where two kids got stuck together,

but braces today are considerably smaller, faster, more comfortable with fewer

If you compare the sides of braces to what a nose ring is, you'll see they're completely

much less likely to get entangled.

And of course, braces are made of stainless steel

or clear crystalline materials, and so they're not magnetic.

Some people who said, well, am I going to feel that magnetism with my braces against somebody that I'm kissing?
