Iritation/laceration to the interior of the cheeks and lips, for starters. Its also a pain in the ass to brush and floss properly with braces.

OP not knowing they can cause issues does nothing to invalidate my own experience with (necessary)braces.
Hypothetical/Strawman huh? Spoken like someone who has never had braces.
Unncessary braces can cause all sorts of problems. As a fashion choice, they are a particularly bad one.
While I agree with you to a point, they didn't stop there or even bother to really make that point at all. They are escalating the seeding of porn to the willful distribution of porn to children. The fact its a corporation doing the seeding just makes for an easy target for such escalation.
So OP isn't even allowed to ask why she must keep them on so much longer than normal braces(generally, 18 months to two years)? My wife had braces for the first three years we were together, five years in total. She literally begged the orthodontist to switch out the mounts to clear ones and remove the metal bands for our wedding day.
Basically, it seemed that he never intended to remove them so long as he could keep getting papers published about her mouth. I won't claim her case wasn't exceptional, but I'm not exaggerating about the papers and how things ended up, and when he finally removed the braces under threat of lawsuit, her teeth stayed perfectly straight to this day, ~ 20 years later, and she never wore her retainer.
All that said, there are perfectly legitimate reasons OP's wife might still need the braces, but for the comments here to weigh 100% on the idea that OP should not even consider talking to his wife about whether hers are a need or a deranged fashion statement is just ridiculous.
Couples, particularly older couples no matter how long they've been together, nevermind married, should be capable of discussing anything, and Aesthetics vs medical needs are a perfectly reasonable topic.
Top notch journalism. Even today, the "legit" sites either have an "I am over 18" button at best, and in general they just block users from states with more stringent requirements. Are we really supposed to hate seeders, just because arstechnica says so?
Rather find out I'm a moron than be stuck all day, or have to call for parts or schedule a "once we've figured it out" return visit. Doesn't happen nearly often enough for me to be upset or insulted by it.
As "The IT Guy", having to call another with this shit is the stuff of nightmares. Like, are you suuure you can't just make me look like a fool and get this over with so we can both move on with our days?
If battery acid tasted bad, old corroded batteries would be a lot less dangerous in general.
Your subconscious was farming those up-doots.
Were you meaning "pertinent" or "appropriate"? Incentive has always been a noun in my experience.
I could have done it with my own braces, but my wife was not the sort to go for such a solution.
