I wasn't sure I'd be able to get one in this month due to some other projects. I was trying to come up with some kind of unique take on "shocking". This idea wasn't the direction I was going initially, but it kind of stuck with me so I went with it.
(Incidentally, I'm not even sure they make braces this way anymore. I've seen ones that are a bit more subtle, but this is what I had when I was younger.)
