I agree that stainless steel is bad for coffee (glass-vacuum carafes are cheap and effective), but it usually takes awhile, an hour or more, before I notice a significant change in flavor from exposure to steel. On the rare occasion that I cannot avoid using a travel mug, I use this thermos tumbler.
Braces cost is around $4000-$6000. Braces cost $3,000-$10,000 depending on location and also on what kind of dentist does them, general dentist (cheaper) or orthodontist (more expensive). In European countries Braces usually cost about $5,000 nowadays.
Ankle braces can cost as little as $10 for a compression ankle brace to more than $100 for rigid ankle braces designed for severe injuries. Price varies according to size, materials, and brand. While compression ankle braces tend to be more affordable and can alleviate pain and reduce swelling, keep in mind that these braces are most suitable for mild injuries or as a preventative measure.
