If one thing is certain, we’re not all born with perfect teeth! Sometimes, our specific smiles may require braces to correct our over or underbites and address other orthodontic issues. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, getting braces can sometimes seem like a curse to our social lives! Rest assured that while braces may not always seem like the coolest choice, they’re always the best choice to straighten and correct your teeth.
Even some of our favorite celebrities had to rock a “brace face” for years as a child, young adult or adult. We may love their pearly whites now, but we’ve already forgotten that they too have had to take on braces to reveal their beautiful smiles. Braces are a normal treatment for people of all backgrounds, interests, and smiles – and we can prove it! Check out this blast from the past to remember some celebrities with braces.

Harry Styles
The English singer songwriter and former member of the mega-popular boy band One Direction had already risen to fame when he decided to get braces! Check out some of Harry’s earliest appearances for a glimpse of his “train tracks” in early 2010 and 2011. His One Direction bandmates Niall Horan and Zayn Malik also wore braces for a few years when One Direction got its start.

Chris Pratt
Before he was a “Guardian of the Universe” and the lovable Andy on TV favorite Parks and Recreation, actor Chris Pratt wore braces as a teen in the 80s. His leading man smile may take center stage in his movies now, but that wasn’t always the case when he was a teen!

Emma Watson
As Hermione, actress Emma Watson delighted fans across the world as a lead for the incredibly popular Harry Potter movie franchise. Most of us were witnesses to the teenage cast’s incredible transformation through years. Although Emma wore braces before joining the Harry Potter franchise, she had to rock them again in 2005 during the four months between the third and fourth Harry Potter movies. We’re sure Emma will agree they were worth her beautiful movie star smile.

Drew Barrymore
The undisputed “Queen of the Teen Dream” in the 1980s, actress, director and producer Drew Barrymore’s “awkward phase” was well-documented during her teenage years. Drew rocked her braces proudly, along with full-on 80s hair, distinct bangs, pale eye-shadow, and paisley-printed headwear. Now, her super straight smile is yet another win for celebrity braces.
