Braces have long been a symbol of the awkward, the weird, and the nerdy. While these stereotypes are slowly fading away from reality where they cause harm, pop culture is embracing them for art. They\u2019ve become an iconic element that adds charm and relatability to many characters. On TV, when braces appear, you can bet they\u2019ll steal the spotlight! If you want a look at some of the best braces<\/a> in pop culture, continue reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mabel Pines \u2013 Gravity Falls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Energetic, outgoing, and sugar-addicted, Mabel is one of the two main protagonists from the animated show, Gravity Falls<\/em>. When she\u2019s not solving strange mysteries with her brother, Dipper, she\u2019s singing karaoke, dancing, and living her best life. Even when she\u2019s bullied by the local \u201cmean girl\u201d Pacifica, she responds by being awesome. She\u2019s a great role model for kids as long as they don\u2019t copy her snacking habits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betty Suarez \u2013 Ugly Betty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most iconic braces-wearing characters in television history is Betty Suarez from Ugly Betty<\/em> played by America Ferrera. Betty\u2019s braces, along with her unique wardrobe and glasses, set her apart in the high-fashion world where she works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite facing constant criticism and being underestimated, Betty\u2019s intelligence, kindness, and perseverance prevail, making her a beloved character. For Betty, her braces are more than dental care, they\u2019re a symbol of individuality and sticking to her convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dustin Henderson \u2013 Stranger Things<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Stranger Things<\/em>, Gaten Matarazzo plays Dustin Henderson, a beloved boy in braces who is one of several main protagonists. In many movies of the 80s, the period Stranger Things<\/em> is set in, Dustin\u2019s lisp and braces might have made him \u201cthe weak one.\u201d However, Matarazzo\u2019s incredible portrayal of the character quickly cemented him as the heart of the group. Despite facing supernatural challenges and teenage drama, Dustin\u2019s braces became a part of his charm, making him a fan favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Simpson \u2013 The Simpsons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In The Simpsons<\/em> episode “Last Exit to Springfield,” Homer loses his dental insurance at work just as it\u2019s discovered that Lisa needs braces. While Lisa tries to take her comically over-the-top braces in stride, Homer is floored by the out-of-pocket cost. This leads him to form a union to get the plant\u2019s dental insurance back. The struggle for good benefits is one that all Americans can sympathize with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these characters are put before you for entertainment, they reflect real-life people. Whether they\u2019re dealing with the awkwardness of adolescence or struggling with self-discovery, characters with braces are some of the most relatable. So, if you\u2019re a braces-wearer in need of inspiration, look no further than these iconic characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
