Question

FRENILLOS

What does it mean?? I'm confused.

(Just asked this question a minute ago but didn't get the answers i wanted.....it is definitely not a name-i know that for sure!)

Answer 1

Spanish: "frenillo" m., "frenos" (pl) : 'braces' in the sense 'a system to correct crooked teeth'

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brace#Tran...

"aparatología fija", "frenillos" or "frenos" : 'dental braces'

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aparatolog%...

The Diccionario de la Lengua Española says :

5. m. Am. Cen., Cuba, R. Dom. y Ven. Cada una de las cuerdas o tirantes que lleva la cometa, y que convergen en la cuerda que la sujeta.

6. m. C. Rica, El Salv., Nic., Ur. y Ven. Aparato que se coloca en la dentadura para corregir imperfecciones. En Costa Rica, u. en pl. con el mismo significado que en sing.

So depending on where you live, it's 'kite lines', or 'braces'!
