Plus, countless more have undergone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superbracesworcester.com\/traditional-braces.html\">orthodontic treatment<\/a> in the past. At this point, it\u2019s basically a rite of passage for teens and young adults! So, it\u2019s not surprising that some of the most iconic characters have adorned the metal brackets and wires over the years. If you\u2019re interested, here are four iconic braces moments in pop culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Darla in <em>Finding Nemo<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2003, <em>Finding Nemo<\/em> debuted. Not only did it make more than $335 million in its original theatrical run, but there have been other movies in the franchise, rides made at amusement parks featuring the beloved characters, and endless merchandise sold across the globe. So, it\u2019s safe to say that it has been a big part of pop culture over the last two decades. Since the main nemesis (a young, pigtail-wearing, fish-loving girl) is in the middle of orthodontic treatment, braces had a big moment in pop culture as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Murray in <em>Clueless<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie <em>Clueless<\/em> brings a lot of nostalgia for the late 90s and early 2000s. Plus, its star-studded cast included everyone from Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd to Donald Faison! Although Donald Faison\u2019s most popular role is arguably Turk in the TV show <em>Scrubs<\/em>, he also plays one of the main characters in this fashion-centered flick. Even with a mouthful of metal, he\u2019s still one of the most popular kids on campus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Josie Geller in <em>Never Been Kissed<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew Barrymore has had an extremely successful acting career, and she\u2019s brought countless beloved characters to life on screen. In the movie <em>Never Been Kissed<\/em>, she plays Josie Geller, who goes back to high school undercover for a story. One of the most memorable scenes is a flashback to her 80s prom, where she has a puffy-sleeved dress, a side ponytail, and, of course, braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Ted in <em>There\u2019s Something About Mary<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There\u2019s Something About Mary <\/em>is a comedy with a star-studded cast, including Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Dillon. The movie begins with Ben Stiller\u2019s character (Ted) back in high school, where he supports long hair, a less than stylish wardrobe, and braces. When describing Ted, Mary (Cameron Diaz\u2019s character) says, \u201cHe had this huge mouth full of metal. You know how I like braces.\u201d So, he ended up doing alright!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Doctor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superbracesworcester.com\/meet-the-orthodontist.html\">Dr. Jamie Moon<\/a>\u2019s studies began at the University of Oregon and the Columbia University School of Dental Medicine. After graduating in 2007, she completed a post-graduate program in Orthodontics and a 3-year residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. If that wasn\u2019t impressive enough, her dedication, commitment, and talent have resulted in her becoming a Board-Certified Orthodontist as well! So, if you are interested in straightening your teeth or have a question about life with braces, she\u2019s the professional to ask.
