Braceface is an animated seies presently broadcast on the Disney Channel (previously aired on ABC Family), produced by American actress Alicia Silverstone, and made by the Canadian company Nelvana. It is aimed at pre-teens and teenagers, and presents situations that more mature kids can understand.
The show is based around 13-14 year old Sharon Spitz (voiced by Silverstone), who is an eighth grader with braces. It seems as if her braces always get in her way of leading a normal teenage life. In the first season she studies at Mary Pickford junior high, and in the second season she and her friends moved on to high school.

Characters
The show's characters include:
Sharon Spitz
A teenager who wears braces, as the show's name suggests, Sharon was popular in Jr. High School (which she was attending when the series began). Sharon's main rival is Nina Harper, who followed Sharon to high school. In high school, Sharon faces trouble trying to gain popularity, as she is seen by most students as inferior because she is a ninth grader (the lowest high school grade in the United States).
Sharon, like Silverstone, is an animal rights supporter, and a vegetarian.
Many times, her braces form a central part of Bracefaces plots, as they are magnets, which leads Sharon to unintentionally attract different objects and get into embarrassing situations.
