This scene also triggered a hot discussion among netizens, "Braces are too eye-catching!" "He's so cute that even the braces are five rings!"
When someone shouted for Qi Guangpu, he was given a lot of strange nicknames, "fluorescent braces brother" and "small braces".
"Even braces are the color of gold medals!" Some netizens began to pile up to seek the same model as the champion.
According to the surging news report, in fact, this braces are special protective braces for sports activities, also known as sports mouth protectors. Unlike the braces commonly used in clinical straightening teeth, it is mainly used to protect athletes' teeth and even the brain from damage, and is usually made of softer silicone.
Previously, The Chinese team's Gu Ailing's teeth during the game also attracted the attention of netizens, and she hung the braces on her chest after the game.
According to the dentist, during the exercise, the teeth are generally clenched, and the external force will be transmitted. Sometimes movement leads to fractures of the maxilla, if the maxilla is okay, it will spread to the brain, produce concussions, through the tooth guard braces, even if the upper and lower teeth are bitten, there will be gaps in the middle, which can disperse the external forces to the teeth in all directions. In addition, protective braces prevent the condylar bone of the mandible from breaking and poking into the brain, protecting the brain from injury.
Taking Gu Ailing's freestyle ski jumping competition as an example, falling from a height of 50 meters, the impact of an instant is very large. If protective braces are not worn, under the huge impact force, the upper and lower rows of teeth will be violently impacted, the light teeth will be broken, the tongue may be damaged in severe cases, and even the jaw fracture and the tooth will be knocked into the bone.
However, braces are mostly used by professional athletes, and are rarely used by the general population, but doctors have also revealed a set of data: nearly one-third of the surgical emergency departments related to the mouth are caused by sports injuries every year, and if you wear braces, the injury is completely possible to avoid. "Playing basketball bumps, there are roller skating bumps, very much, all from the chin, because a forward force will hit the mandible, light mandible here broken, soft tissue rupture, heavy fractures, broken teeth, displaced, very much."
Therefore, I would like to remind you that for strenuous exercise, it is best to consciously wear lower dental braces. If you don't bring it, probably... (Just kidding)

Like orthodontic braces, protective braces can be individually tailored to each person's specific oral structure.
Most athletes like Gu Ailing are mostly transparent, such as the Russian Olympic Committee players who compete with Qi Guangpu.
In this competition, there is another athlete who is as eye-catching as Qi Guangpu:
In the middle of the braces of the Swiss player Noe Roth is a Swiss flag, and every time he grins, the flag on the front teeth is quite eye-catching.
It really belongs to the existence of the camera flashing can not be ignored hahahahahahaha
