Famous Celebrities Who’ve Had Braces

At Morita Orthodontics, one of the most common reasons that we hear about for why some people avoid orthodontic treatment is the fear of how they will look in braces. Since we know we can’t just say not to worry and expect your fears to magically disappear, the best way that we’ve found to help alleviate the anxiety of how you look is braces is by refocusing your mind on the bigger picture. Sure someone might catch a glimpse of your braces when you smile, but what you are doing is taking care of yourself for the long-term, since a straighter smile is a healthier smile.

While showing up to school or work with your braces may take some courage, at least you’re not being looked at by people around the globe right? To help you find your courage to get that perfect smile you’ve always wanted, here are some famous celebrities who went through the same kind of orthodontic treatment that you would be getting, and had the courage to show their braces off to the world without any fear about how they looked.

Cristiano Ronaldo

When you think of one of the highest paid athletes in the world, you probably don’t think of braces right away. Not only does Ronaldo hold countless records in his sport but is also a fashion icon who has been on the covers of magazines and even has his very own fashion brand. But before he became the global star that he is today, he needed to have braces to correct his smile and transform it into the famous grin that he loves to show off today whether it’s on or off the soccer field.

Serena & Venus Williams

Before these tennis superstars had 30 Grand-Slam tennis titles between them, the Williams sisters wore braces so they could have healthier, more beautiful smiles. The short time in braces definitely paid off once they started to get featured in commercials and magazine covers, or for when they flashed a smile on live TV while they won their championship matches.

Tom Cruise

If anyone knows that it’s not an impossible mission to get the perfect smile, it’s Tom Cruise. The A-list actor had a not-so-straight smile when he was still early on in his career, but he decided that it was time for a change when he opted to get some clear braces for himself to get those teeth aligned for the perfect smile that he was always meant to have.

Emma Watson

While she has moved far beyond Harry Potter toward a stunning and successful acting career, Emma Watson wore braces during her wizarding days at Hogwarts back in 2005. When asked why she decided to get braces at the time, she stated that “It’s important because a smile is for life”. She knew that having a great smile wasn’t just for looks, but for her own long term health as well!

Niall Horan

If you ever need an example of how much orthodontic treatment can change the way your face looks for the better, just take a look at former One Direction star now solo artist, Niall Horan. While he was still in his One Direction days, touring the globe and standing up on stage wasn’t with crooked teeth wasn’t the most ideal situation for him. When he finally got his clear braces off in 2011, not only was he excited, but the way he looked was completely transformed.

Kendall Jenner

One of the many stars from Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner has built a name for herself as both a model and social media icon. Being on camera or posting photos to social media on a regular basis, Kendall opted for Invisalign, allowing her to straighten her teeth without her fans noticing a thing.
