Elemental and microstructural analysis of fake, real, and standard orthodontic brackets

The increasing demand for orthodontic treatment in the Malaysian community has led to the development of “fake” and “real” braces. Fake and real braces have been offered through social media by unqualified personnel using poor quality orthodontic brackets. Notably, cases of metal toxicity from th...

Fake and real braces have been offered through social media by unqualified personnel using poor quality orthodontic brackets. Notably, cases of metal toxicity from these braces have been reported. Here, we explored the composition and microstructure of several types of fake, real, and standard (professional) braces.
