The Design Behind ... Braces

Tomorrow we have a special edition of The Current for you. We're calling it "Introducing Generation Z" and we're spending the entire show exploring the lives of young people today. We'll hear from Canadian teens as they describe, in their own words, what defines their generation: their values, their hopes, and even their slang. We'll also debate whether young people today should take a pass on high school. 

And with a nod to our upcoming focus on teenage life on tomorrow's program,  we have a special "Design Behind" vignettes close to the heart... or perhaps, close to the teeth, of many teens.

Dr. Eric Selnes from the Ontario Association of Orthodontists, shares a brief history of orthodontic braces dating back to ancient times.

This segment was produced by The Current's Sarah Grant.
