How does orthodics even resemble braces? Orthodics are for your feet in case you missed the last 1000 years |

They are inserts for your feet. They take a cast. Simple process done by podiatrist |

Well, I could probably use an orthodic insert for my mouth to protect my orthodontics considering how many times I've stuck my foot in my mouth over the years. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm flying in to CR on May 3rd and meeting up with five other buddies and I can barely contain myself! I rendevous with my wingmen at the BM at 3PM and then the games will begin! |

Don't even think about it here in C.R. I have worn them for 25 years, first leather, then molded plastic made by a doctor...and they all sucked.(all from the states) The ones I have now are a hard rubber, sold by a chain operated in the states, the company that advertises in an infomercial.....I have the receipt somewhere. The current ones I bought from them have lasted over 9 years. They are unbreakable, unlike the molded plastic. You go into the store and walk out with the model you need. I payed about $260 I think. After all the others that I used they were a bargain. Truly one of the best products I have ever used. |

Actually, its quite easy to understand how someone might think you meant Orthodontics, since you misspelled the word. The word for the devices used for one's feet is OrthoTics (with a T not a D) and probably derives from the same latin root as for orthodontics, orthopedics, etc. (to brace, straighten, set right etc.?). Orthotic is basically just a fancy name for arch supports. If your feet are really messed up (I'm talking 4F, for those that remember the draft), I suppose I could see paying $260 for a pair. Most people just go for the Dr. Scholl's. Are you gellin'? Like a melon! |
