    Who was the first person to wear braces?

    Question #57205. Asked by joezhou300.

    eschatologist

    The history of dental braces or the science of orthodontics is very complex. Many different inventors helped to create braces, as we know them today.

    In 1728, Pierre Fauchard published a book called the "The Surgeon Dentist" with an entire chapter on ways to straighten teeth. In 1957, the French dentist Bourdet wrote a book called "The Dentist's Art". It also had a chapter on tooth alignment and using appliances in the mouth. These books were the first important references to the new dental science of orthodontics.

    Sorry, no name of the first wearer discovered as of yet.
