Ugly Betty should have Invisalign

Dentists attack Ugly Betty’s braces

The British Orthodontic Society has criticised the “detrimental” portrayal of wire braces by the US television programme Ugly Betty, whose titular heroine, Betty Suarez, who continues to wear braces into the show’s third season, is “irresponsibly” portrayed as ugly. A report from the Telegraph claims dentists are worried that such stereotyping “could discourage young viewers from seeking corrective treatment,” adding that the programme does not provide a “true reflection of orthodontic practises.”

 Marcus " Orthodontists are a little sensitive about this and maybe they have a point. It is unfortunate to portray someone as 'ugly' because they wear a brace! However, I don't use that type of brace;  I use Invisalign which is practically invisible - please see the web site.

If she had that she wouldn't be Ugly Betty, and then what would the show be called?"

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable teeth aligners that both orthodontists and dentists use as an alternative to traditional metal dental braces.thanks for the post.
