Oh, absolutely--that's one of the reasons it amuses me so. I expect kids will love it--hell, I want to work through the trauma with those things.
The thing is, AG doesn't really do stressors for kids. AG has a tendency lately (well, it always has, but especially lately) to do the cartoony thing and leave out some of the unglamorous realities, the less than pleasant parts of being a tween. I'm the kid who loves realistic stuff, so the inglorious world of orthodontia actually pleases me. But it is a little bit out of the usual Disney Channel comfort zone of AG, which is the source of my amusement.
Plus, no matter how much it helps your mouth later in life, headgear is mean. Possibly necessary, but mean all the same.
