After all, many of your favorite celebrities and characters have sported orthodontics, and many more boast perfect, megawatt grins. &nbsp;Whether you\u2019re looking for motivation, inspiration, or self-identification, here are a few pop culture moments where braces took center stage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faith Hill\u2019s Award Show Stunner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Country music artist Faith Hill set tongues wagging when she arrived at the Grammy awards rocking braces in 2013. The singer even coordinated her rubber bands with her pale pink gown, showing that yes, you can sport orthodontic equipment at an upscale event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cEw!\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jimmy Fallon is famous for his celebrity interviews and sketches, including the \u201cEw\u201d video he made with hip hop star will.i.am. In the skit, the entertainers play Sara and mir.i.am, two teenage girls who rap about all the things they think are gross. Both characters wear braces, and will.i.am\u2019s alter ego even sports classic orthodontic headgear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cindy Crawford\u2019s Throwback Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the 90s, supermodels had major star power, and Cindy Crawford was one of the top talents at the time. In one famous Pepsi commercial, she shocked fans when she opened her mouth to smile, revealing a sparkly set of braces befitting her gorgeous grin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lisa Needs Braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-running animated classic \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d has a way of perfectly encapsulating what\u2019s going on in the world with both humor and irony. In one particularly timeless episode, Homer Simpson and his coworkers square off with their employer Mr. Burns when the nuclear power plant cuts their dental benefits, just as he learns his daughter Lisa needs braces. Homer eventually forms and heads a workers\u2019 union to restore their benefits and ensure his greedy boss can\u2019t pull another power trip on them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, while it may feel strange to have braces on your teeth, they\u2019re quite common and as these pop culture icons have proven, should never stop you from letting your star shine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtondentalnj.com\/about-us.html\">Washington Dental Associates<\/a>, our practice was born from the concept that everyone deserves excellent oral health care.
