oookkkk...I never saw an advantage to having braces when I had them. I was in way too much pain, and my Senior pictures were horrible because of the tin. But is this case, I guess I can see it.

Hope this young man will be ok, and they get the shooters, too.
Just my thoughts

Casings from three different weapons? That sounds like they had a gunfight and none of them could shoot very good!

I don't believe that braces could deflect a 45 dead on, must have came from the side. Or its not true.Sorry to be so cynical. Still hurts I bet.

WOW, that is crazy! I know I hated braces, and when my brother was younger he had braces && he had a basketball hit his face and he had to get stitches all in his mouth. Not Cool! This kid is VERY lucky.
Thoughts and Prayers go out to him and his family

A gun battle in Pontiac you know what that means gang bangers.Probably fighting over turf,or drugs,maybe 22"wheels versus 24" wheels who knows why these idiots do these stupid things .No sympathy from me.
