\"Girl<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you have a child or teenager at home who has crooked teeth, you\u2019re probably considering different orthodontic treatments like braces<\/a>. This tried-and-true method is a versatile solution with a long history of straightening even the most uneven smiles. Although your youth might be frustrated with their grin\u2019s imbalanced appearance, they might be just as frustrated that they\u2019ll need to have metal brackets bonded to their teeth for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not uncommon for children and young adults to struggle with self-consciousness about traditional orthodontics. Remembering that they\u2019re not alone in their frustrations can provide some well-deserved peace of mind. Keep reading to learn 3 pop-culture references featuring braces that might help alleviate their anxiety over their appearance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Finding Nemo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most kids watch this Disney classic and its sequel at some point in their lives. In this charming tale, Nemo is caught by a fishing boat and ends up in an aquarium at a dental office. During his stay there, he encounters the dentist\u2019s niece, Darla, who sports both braces and headgear. Although she\u2019s not necessarily a villain, the fish fear her because of her less-than-gentle approach to marine life. If your child struggles with the state of their grin, watching her antics might put a smile on their face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most children have one thing in common when it comes to their teeth, and that\u2019s their desire to consume sugar. Candy and chocolate taste great, and when you\u2019re young, you\u2019re not necessarily worried about the consequences of what you eat. If your kid has a sweet tooth, they may already be familiar with the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie features Willy Wonka, a magical candy maker who invites several contest winners for a tour of his factory. The main character, Charlie, finds his golden ticket after working around his orthodontics to eat a cherished chocolate bar.  Perhaps it\u2019s natural to associate eating sweets with dental issues because it\u2019s also revealed that Willy\u2019s dad was a dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: The Incredibles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a superhero reference to help your adolescent feel more confident about braces, then why not sit down to enjoy another viewing of The Incredibles? Every member of this Disney family has their own unique superhuman abilities that they call on to save their dad, Mr. Incredible, when he gets into trouble. While the family is away, the baby is at home with a sitter by the name of Kari McKeen. Although she\u2019s not \u2018incredible\u2019, she doesn\u2019t let the metal brackets stop her from doing her best to keep small Jack-Jack out of harm’s way, which, as it turns out, is quite the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braces are a tried-and-true way to straighten smiles and have been fixing grins for decades. As a result, they make an appearance in many different movies and TV shows that you and your kid can enjoy together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
