The Braced-Lets bracelet collection is the perfect way to show your appreciation for your orthodontist.

The Braced-Lets idea was conceived by two New York orthodontists Dr. Marc Lemchen and Dr. Jennifer Salzer as well as Lisa Salzer. According the product's site, Braced-Lets are "Colorful, stretchy power chains are accented with [metal brackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection) and contrasting elastic rubber bands and are designed to be mixed and matched, creating countless individual fashion statements. Collect, trade and share - hop on the power chain and BRACE YOURSELF!"

The demand for these bracelets are overwhelming and the design company even offers a [retainer case as a jewelry box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orthodontic-system). These [bracelets are fun and colorful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariella-maizer) and can serve as an easy reminder for kids to take care of their metal mouths.
