Orthodontists Wince As Do-It-Yourself Teeth-Straightening Trend Continues
The idea of do-it-yourself braces may seem cringe worthy to many adults, but a quick search of YouTube shows that plenty of young people still think straightening your own teeth is a fantastic idea.
They couldn’t be more wrong, says Kerry White Brown, (www.whitebrownsmiles.com) an orthodontist and author of A Lifetime of Sensational Smiles: Transforming Lives through Orthodontics.
“That sort of thing can cause permanent damage to your teeth,” White Brown says. “There’s a lot that goes into straightening teeth, and even most dentists don’t have the additional training involved.”
The do-it-yourself trend isn’t new, but it continues to grow despite the frantic warnings coming from the orthodontic and dentistry worlds.
Just this month, the British Dental Association cautioned that poorly applied braces can cause a child’s teeth to fall out, and urged YouTube to remove do-it-yourself tutorials posted on the video site.
When the American Association of Orthodontists surveyed its members last year, 13 percent reported seeing an uptick in the number of patients who had tried do-it-yourself teeth straightening, in some cases causing irreparable damage to their teeth.
The methods and materials commonly used include rubber bands, dental floss, fishing line, paper clips, biting on pencils, creating fake retainers and pushing teeth with fingers, the association reports.
White Brown says that a lot more goes into correctly straightening teeth than people realize. An orthodontist, for example, focuses on such issues as whether the teeth and the jaws are properly aligned, and whether there are any muscular issues or skeletal problems preventing the healthy function of the teeth and the jaws.
Do-it-yourselfers aren’t taking any of that into account.
White Brown offers a few additional observations on the do-it-yourself movement:
“If you’re the parent of a child with misaligned teeth, you may see that your child is suffering the pangs that a less-than-sensational smile can cause,” White Brown says. “If cost is the issue, there are many creative ways to finance a child’s orthodontics. But those children need to understand they can make things worse, not better, if they try to take matters into their own hands. ”

The Cloud Foundation Files Temporary Restraining Order to Prevent Destruction of Pryor Wild Horse Herd
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – August 24, 2018
The Cloud Foundation has filed a request for a temporary restraining order to prevent the removal of 17 young Pryor wild horses living in the Pryor Wild Horse Range on the Montana-Wyoming border. The Colorado-based non profit named for Cloud, a Pryor stallion documented throughout his life by TCF Director, Ginger Kathrens, wants the case against the Bureau of Land Management in Billings MT to be briefed before horses are removed. BLM has already altered the behavior of the horses by setting up baited traps in anticipation of a September 2nd start.
Genetic testing since the early 1990s has confirmed that the Pryor horses are rare descendants of New World “Spanish” breeds that were brought to this country in the early 1500s. Because of their rarity and the public’s fascination with these particular horses, BLM long ago committed itself to manage these horses “for a phenotype reminiscent of a Colonial Spanish Type horse in order to prevent the loss of Spanish characteristics. . .“
“Despite the uniqueness of this little herd and the real and present danger of losing the genetics that make them unique, BLM seems unwilling to limit the removal to only young animals who could be removed without permanent damage to the herd,” states Ginger Kathrens. “Despite conversations and in person meetings with both TCF and with the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center (PMWMC) that long served as advisors to BLM regarding the maintenance of rare genetics, BLM issued a decision record which includes the removal of horses representing genetic lines where only one horse would be left to carry on that line or, in one case, no reproducing horse would be left, thereby eliminating that line.
Genetics lost are genetics lost—there is no getting them back, according to Gus Cothran, renowned equine geneticist who has traced the herd since the early 1990s and has encouraged BLM to maintain a larger herd. Presently, there are 154 horses in the herd including only seven foals and five yearlings.
“The population is declining naturally,” states Kathrens. “The death rate is exceeding the birth rate so there is a very good case to be made for doing no removals at this time. However, we agree with the Pryor Mustang Center’s carefully scrutinized list of 6 young horses that could be removed without immediate damage to this rare herd. Despite this knowledge, BLM has ignored all of us.”
Statistics from both TCF and PMWMC show a declining population due to the use of PZP to limit births and an aging population with 20 horses over the age of 19. Last year just five foals survived and 2 of those are on the list to be removed. There are 6 surviving foals in 2018, one born just a few days ago.
“TCF believes that the BLM failed to consider the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of its decision on the genetic viability of the Pryor Herd, “ concludes Kathrens. “They should have prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) that examined in detail which management practices would ensure the survival of this beloved Spanish Colonial herd.”
The increasing popularity of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Herd has not gone unnoticed in the small towns near the horse herd, including David Peck, long-time editor of the Lovell Chronicle: “We urge the BLM to take a step back and delay the removal. . .and we urge the community leaders of Lovell to once again stand up and fight for the well-being of the Pryor Mountain mustangs, that rare jewel in our backyard beloved by people around the world.”
The Cloud Foundation is being represented by the Washington, DC public interest firm Meyer Glitzenstein & Eubanks.
