Celebrities who had braces

Stars with braces! 

Not everyone is born with a million-dollar smile, not even some celebrities. The following stars have all had their moments as a “brace face,” either as a child, teenager, or adult. You might be surprised to learn about stars who had braces.

Take a look at some famous faces who sported braces!

Dakota Fanning: This lovely young actress had some troublesome teeth when she was younger. However, braces and dental work gave her that stunning star-quality smile we see now. Props to her, though, for staying real. She sported her headgear during an appearance on The Tonight Show and didn’t bat an eye. That's being comfortable in your own skin! 

Emma Watson: Emma admits to going through a rather awkward stage that included “terrible skin,” fluctuating weight, and braces. But look at the swan that emerged!

Tom Cruise: Who would have thought that one of the world’s most famous smiles could use an overhaul? Well, Mr. Cruise pulled it off … and most people didn’t even know. He wore “invisible” braces that had ceramic brackets for a few months just after his 40th birthday. And the results were pretty WOW! See... you can get braces at any age!

Gwyneth Paltrow: The stunning Ms. Paltrow, who, in 2013 was named the Most Beautiful Woman by People Magazine, wore braces in high school. And she probably carried it off with the poise and grace for which she is so famous today.

Niall Horan: This member of One Direction, the boy band that’s currently tearing it up (and breaking some hearts along the way) wore his braces for several months. He got them removed in April 2013.

Other notable celebs who have had braces include American Idol's own Ryan Seacrest, Faith Hill, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and Drew Barrymore also belonged to the metal mouth club at one time or another.

What is comes down to is this: It isn’t whether you wear braces that are fully hidden, ceramic brackets, or have the traditional metal train tracks running across your teeth. Nope, it’s all about how you work it!

CONFIDENCE IS KEY!!!

How does AcceleDent® make orthodontic treatment more efficient? 

June 16th, 2015

What is AcceleDent?

Patients who need to get orthodontic treatment are often concerned about how lo

ng they will wear their braces. Dr. Salvatore Manente will tell you the good news, there is a solution for any patient who wants to minimize the time he or she needs to wear braces. AcceleDent is a device that uses micropulse technology to reduce how long your orthodontic treatment takes. AcceleDent generates small vibrations, micropulses, as teeth are guided by orthodontics to move into their correct positions faster. The device needs to be worn only for a few minutes a day, and is a non-invasive and non-surgical way to make orthodontics more efficient.

You may ask.. how does AcceleDent Work? 

The AcceleDent appliance is a custom mouthpiece that fits comfortably around your braces. It works with traditional braces, clear braces, and even Invisalign®. The mouthpiece is inserted once a day, an activator is turned on, and the mouthpiece is worn for just 20 minutes. You only need to bite the mouthpiece hard enough to hold it in place. You can participate in any activities you like while wearing it. 

Benefits of AcceleDent

Besides being hands-free, lightweight, and comfortable, you can benefit in a number of significant ways by using AcceleDent orthodontic treatment:

• It speeds up orthodontic treatment by up to 50 percent.
• AcceleDent® is only worn for 20 minutes a day.
• Orthodontic treatment feels more comfortable 
• It is approved by the FDA. (FDA- cleared Class II medical device)
• It is non-invasive
• It is non-surgical.
• May reduce patient non-compliance often seen in 2nd year of treatment
• It helps with dental hygiene by minimizing the amount of time needed for orthodontic treatment.

Most of our patients at Manente Orthodontics welcome the opportunity to reduce their orthodontic treatment time, and that’s just what AcceleDent offers. Contact our Niagara Falls, NY office (716 - 285 - 3588) or ask our team at your next appointment to see if AcceleDent is right for your smile!

This Smartphone App Makes 2-Minute Brushing Fun!

(When's the last time you didn't have your phone in hand? If you are like most of us.. you can't remember! Keep reading, this new app is pretty cool)!

FEW OF US ARE EVER SEEN WITHOUT our smartphone in hand. We love our devices because they make our lives so much easier! But, did you know that your smartphone can also help you keep good oral hygiene habits? Kids... your dentist and orthodontist will love you. This is also a great tool to teach the little ones proper brushing habits. 

How Long Do YOU Spend Brushing Your Teeth?

Plaque is soft, but it hides away in nooks and crannies. And while we’re wearing braces, there are even more cozy hideaways for that plaque. That’s why it’s important to put in a full two minutes every time you brush your teeth. That’s simply how long it takes to thoroughly clean every corner of your mouth! Brushing harder, for a shorter period of time, isn’t going to get it done.

If Brushing For Two Full Minutes Is Hard…

Those two minutes of brush time will go faster if you’re jamming out to one of your favorite tunes! Brush DJ is a free smartphone app that will play 2 minutes of music from your own music library, shuffling songs each time. It also has a visual display guiding you on where to brush and for how long.

Brush DJ even lets you set reminders to change your toothbrush, floss and keep your regular dental and orthodontic  appointments. Check it out below!
