#1: There\u2019s Something About Mary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may remember this blockbuster film for its sophomoric humor and star-studded cast, but you may have forgotten that the main character, Ted, wore braces. If Ben Stiller wasn\u2019t already funny enough, the shining metal in his mouth might be enough to leave you laughing. The main character Mary, played by Cameron Diaz, even references it at one point when she mentions, \u201cHe had this huge mouth full of metal. You know how I like braces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Clueless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another comedy classic you may be familiar with also featured a prominent person wearing traditional braces. Clueless is a 1995 film about a stylish teen coping with the ups and downs of adolescent life in Beverly Hills. One of her friends, Murray (played by Donald Faison) has braces on and flashes them proudly. Do you think they\u2019ll stop him from living his best life? As if!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Pepsi Commercial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If someone were to ask you to name supermodels, would you mention Cindy Crawford? Many people associate her with the height of fashion runways in the 1980s and 1990s. She\u2019s had a long and successful career full of magazine covers, clothing catalogs, and on the television screen. In 1992, she appeared in Pepsi\u2019s Super Bowl commercial sporting a beautiful set of shining braces and they never looked so good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Lisa Simpson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 35 seasons and counting, The Simpsons has been a comedy staple since the late 1980s. This animated family has experienced every imaginable adventure their writers could come up with, including dental care. In 1993, one popular episode features Mr. Burns working to eliminate his employees\u2019 dental plan just as viewers discover that Lisa needs braces. Homer tries to resolve the issue by unionizing the workers and striking to keep their benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Monsters University<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Disney Pixar is known for its family-friendly films, like Monsters Inc. and its prequel, Monsters University. Made in 2013, this movie features two monsters, Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan, learning how to be the scariest they can be. During it, the short, one-eyed Mike references having finished his orthodontic treatment. As a result, he dutifully wears his retainer throughout the plot.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a child, an adult, rich and famous, or the person next door, if you\u2019re hoping for a straighter smile then braces can help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
