Celebrities with Braces: Check Out These Famous Brace Faces

The following list of celebrities with braces and Invisalign proves that you’re never too talented or famous (or Royal) to use orthodontics to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

If you’re worried about getting braces, take heart—several celebrities wore metal braces to achieve their Hollywood smiles, and many of them did so while in the center of the spotlight!

This actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian had braces when she was a teenager. She must have kept up with her retainer wear, because decades later her smile is still flawless.

Serena and Venus Williams

Both of the Williams sisters achieved their winning smiles by wearing braces when they were teens. Serena later used Invisalign to make further corrections.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson gained her magical smile by wearing braces while on a break between the third and fourth Harry Potter movies.
