They’re probably going to break them a time or two. They’re going to get stuff stuck in those braces. Yes, Mama, as much as it hurts your heart, your adorably awkward kid might get teased from time to time due to their mouthful of thousands of dollars of corrective metal. However, they also have strong personalities and even have some pretty epic comebacks to the occasional teasing. Most of these characters also get picked on throughout their time in braces. Cartoon characters with braces might not be as widely seen as, say, cartoon characters with glasses or red-haired characters, but they still exist. When they come to tell you as much, you can give them a touchstone - someone who looks like them and confirms it’s totally cool to be yourself. Anyone with any screen time could watch a kid with braces being picked on or discover braces being used as a prop to depict “nerdiness.” And, listen, your kid will likely hear the same dumb nicknames bullies called you as a kid with braces. While many of us might have hated everything wrong with our teeth growing up, we also hated the idea of braces. Or perhaps you knew from watching your older siblings or seeing the gap between your front teeth that braces were inevitable. Do you remember the first time you realized that you’d be getting braces? Maybe the full weight of your braces didn’t sink in until the orthodontist cemented ’em onto your teeth.
