This is a trend I just now picked up on: LED Lights for Teeth. Evidently in Japan, there is a trend for placing lights in the mouth to produce the effect you see here. This was originally done for a promotional commercial. I wonder if it will catch on. Over time dental patients have requested gold or even jewelry on their teeth. I do not think it a good idea to place anything bonded (attached) to the teeth that is not there for a health reason. Braces are fine. These LED light devices may be ok so long as they are removable and do not cause any adverse dental effect. Hey, 3-M and other orthodontic bracket companies, how about orthodontic brackets that light up? On second thought, a leaky battery in the mouth does not sound so good. What do you think? Will patients be requesting this in the future?
Check out the article here: NewYork Times Article
If you are wondering, you cannot buy these yet. They are not commercially available.

wow.light the teeth? awesome :)
Its seriously a great invention...I just want to know can kids under 15 age also light their teeth...
Interesting, but this isn't just Japan. Just an FYI ;)
I've been to some beaches up along the East Coast and I see teenagers doing this all the time. It's been around for several years now.
I never saw such incredible piece of art. Never thought that led lights can be use to someone's teeth for the sake of art.
This is a dental implant dentist saying what a great work. I'm totally amuse.
You guys are so funny with highlight tooth brace. It's fantastic that we don't need torch but using our teeth as a torch every time we go out at night!.Cool
wow. Savvy tech gadgets for the teeth. is it designed by a dentist. Good but funny invention.
I think it's some new and ephemeral trend from Japan. I would never put some cables in my mouth... jet :D
Like it :-)
well, this is good for the sake of art but health should be considered first of all :)
Wow! This highlight brace in the teeth is so great! It's so interesting.
Any use of this? Certainly it attracts but no use.
Btw looks different.
I wonder how it would look? If the LED color could Red instead of Green ;) .
This entire story is simply untrue. Not a single person in this entire country uses these. They were created for the TV ad, nothing more.
LED lights are quickly replacing traditional incandescent bulbs. They are not just a hot gadget but also a true alternative. These are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Thanks a lot.
Man, you look like the Hulk. So cool
¿Where did ya get em from?
