Name-brand clear braces like Invisalign can cost upwards of $8,000. Amos Dudley, using equipment from his school, 3-D-printed his own braces for only $60. 

Dudley, a 23-year old student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, realized while looking at braces options on the internet that it looked like something he could print in his school lab. 

After using equipment at his school to scan and create a 3-D model of his teeth, Dudley created a plastic mold around it to serve as his plastic braces.
