Braceface was a Canadian animated series formerly broadcasted on Teletoon in Canada, and on the Disney Channel and ABC Family in the United States. It is 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, set in southern British Columbia, 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.

The show is rated TV-Y.

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 North American high schools). Sharon's family members include her father Richard, her mother Helen, her two brothers Adam and Josh, two dogs, and three cats.

Sharon's best friend is Maria Wong and her other friends are Connor MacKenzie, Alden Jones and Brock Leighton. She has a huge crush on Alden and evenutally he becomes her boyfriend.

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.
