Something new at the dentist’s office could make you look years younger – and it doesn’t hurt.

The device is custom-made for each patient.

It’s Angel Lift: a surgery-free face-lift.

The walk down the red carpet is a place where “youth” shines, no matter what your age.

Kelly Bruce is on a similar mission.

She wants to enjoy life and slow down the march of time.

When Bruce goes to the dentist it’s not always about her pearly whites.

“I’ve been wearing it a lot, and a lot of my friends are noticing a difference,” Bruce said.”

It is a molded piece of plastic called the Angel Lift.

“With face-lifts the tissue of course is pulled back and made to shrink,” dentist Dr. Carol Lazell said. “The Angel Lift is made to enhance and bring back.”

The device is supposed to erase wrinkle memory in the face muscles around the nose and mouth.

At 38 years old, Bruce wears one to prevent lines on her face — an idea she got from her mom.

“She had small lines forming around her mouth from sun damage, and it smoothed the lines so well on her face I thought, ‘I don’t want to wait for those lines,’” Bruce said.

The Angel Lift is custom made and costs $350 to $750.

It can be worn as much or as little a day as the patient desires.

A newer version that’s clear and called Invisilift will be on the market soon.

“But it’s like exercise: You do have to keep wearing it,” Dr. Lazell said. “It’s not a cure for wrinkles.”

Bruce believes wearing this pair of wings will help her look younger longer.
