Fake braces are being banned in Thailand.
“The fake braces, which are glued onto the teeth, can also cause sores on the gums and inside the mouth and some of the wires have been found to contain lead, she said.
Rasamee said the board will sign an order later today punishing sellers, importers and producers of fake braces, which will take effect immediately.
Under the new order, selling fake braces will be punishable by six months in prison or a 50,000 baht ($A1,700) fine.
Importers and producers could face up to one year behind bars and a 100,000 baht ($A3,500) fine.”
