Celebrities and braces, from Weiss Orthodontics

You may not know it, but back in 2002, Tom Cruise - yes, Tom Cruise - had braces. At the time, he was 40 years old and filmed Minority Report, Austin Powers in Goldmember and the Last Samurai. Just check out his smile in Jerry Maguire, Rain Man or The Firm and compare to the post-braces Tom Cruise dazzling smile in Valkyrie or Tropic Thunder. The fact is, movie stars need to look their best for the silver screen, and it wouldn't be possible without orthodontists like Dr. Danny Weiss.

In fact, lots of Hollywood stars have had orthodontic treatment. Check out this list of Hollywood names. If you’ve thought about getting the perfect smile you’ve always wanted, please give Weiss Orthodontics a call at 901-767-7370.

Ask Dr. Weiss: Am I too old for treatment?

Who’s afraid of being spotted in braces? Not adults, apparently. Recently, our staff at Weiss Orthodontics read a fascinating statistic: adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent from just 14 years ago! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Danny Weiss can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Weiss would love to have you visit for a consultation. Please give us a call to set one up!
