How to Make Fake Braces Using a Paper Clip & Beads?

There are many ways to make fake braces and making fake braces with the help of paper clips and beads is one of them. For this, you need to consider the steps below, see here more details from YouTube video.

Unroll a Paper Clip with Your Hands

For this step, you need to take a thin paper clip and then unroll it using your hands. If you take a thick paper clip then it would not be that easy to unroll it and also this would not be suitable for this project. It will come out with a fake look so avoid using a thick paper clip. Also, the beads we will use will not fit in a thick paper clip.

Give a ‘U’ Shape to the Paper Clip

Now, it’s time to bend the paper clip in ‘U’ shape that is the desired shape of our jaw. After bending it just plain out any kinks that are left. Test it such that it would fit in your upper jaw. Fix all the areas that look fake or unnatural.

Count the Teeth when You Smile

This is a funny step, but you need to do this. Count the number of teeth that are visible when you smile naturally. You will require one bead for each tooth that is visible.

Thread the Beads onto the Paper Clip

This is an easy step; you can find beads from any nearby store. Choose the color of beads that you want on braces. Then thread them onto the paper clip and hold it up to your jaw. Place each bead such that there is only one bead per tooth. Once they are centered properly, carefully keep down the brace.

Glue the Beads

You need to carefully perform this step. If any bead gets distracted from its place then the braces will not look up to the mark. So, carefully place them and stick them with non-toxic super-glue. After the glue is all dried up, scratch the excess glue from the brace. Here, we use super glue as it will not break down for 3–4 weeks in your mouth.

Bend the Ends of the Paper Clip

Now, bend the ends of the brace at 90 degrees (in ‘L’ shape) using a pair of pliers.  And this will result in the doubled wire.

Apply Orthodox Wax at the Ends

Grab the orthodox wax from any nearby medicine store and roll it into two small balls, after that place it at the end of the braces such that the paper clip is covered at the ends.

Try Your Braces

Now, your braces are ready, place them in your mouth and you are ready to show off with your fake braces.  So, this is how to make fake braces using paper clips and beads.
