When Keating is talking to his class about Shakespeare, McBeth and other poets, there is a close shot of one of the boys laughing. You can plainly see that the boys braces on his teeth are the more modern type where the bracket for the wire is glued to the outside of the tooth. In 1959, this had not been invented yet and kids wearing braces on their teeth would have had metal bands that were cemented to the whole tooth, covering it almost completely. The wire bracket would have been on the outward facing side of the band to support the wire for the straightening of the teeth. The newer version of the bracket being stuck only to the exterior side of the tooth would not have been developed for another 20 years.
