Celebrities That Used to Wear Braces

They may be the very essence of perfection in our eyes, but even some of the most popular celebrities still needed a little bit of assistance from their friendly neighborhood orthodontists. Just because they live in million-dollar mansions, own their private planes and take a daily bath in their Olympic-sized pools doesn’t mean that they don’t think about their precious pearly whites. Most of them are even known for their Oscar and Grammy-winning smiles.

Niall Horan of One Direction

The most adorable boy band in history has one member that sported braces even while they were touring. Niall Horan recently had his braces removed, which caused a global swooning phenomenon last year. He was adorable with the braces, but he is still a welcome and admittedly gorgeous sight without them.

Why You Should Keep Wearing Retainers After You Get Your Braces Taken Out

Now that you have finally survived wearing your braces for a couple of years, it’s time to take out that trusty retainer and keep it in… until bedtime that is. Many people think that just because their teeth are now neat and straight, they can just forego retainers altogether. Some think it’s just a formality, but it isn’t. Yes, your dental appointments are farther apart now, which means that your orthodontist won’t be keeping tabs on your retainer use; but that only makes it more obvious that you are not taking very good care of your teeth. Do you want to know why it’s necessary to keep your retainers on? Let us explain what retainers are and why you should keep wearing them.

What is a Retainer?

A retainer is a small piece of plastic and metal that is molded to the contours of your upper hard palate and the inner surfaces of your teeth. No two retainers are alike even if they look similar. Most people who have worn braces are prescribed to wear retainers for a while after their braces are taken off.
