Often driven to consumption by social networks, customers are flocking to dental appliances online. Orthodontists are worried.
They are everywhere on the Internet the promises of perfect smiles. A simple tray for teeth worthy of a mannequin. Anaïs Vidal, a student, saw gutters to wear at night on the Internet. “I wore them for a week and a half or so and I felt that my teeth were moving, it really hurt my front teeth and I thought it was really not good for me”testifies the student.
