It's true. Back in 2002, one of Hollywood's biggest stars - Tom Cruise - had braces. During this time, Cruise was 40 years old and filmed the films 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 Cruise in Valkyrie or Tropic Thunder. Even movie stars need to look their best for the silver screen, and it wouldn't be possible without orthodontists like Dr. Kathleen Tavarez.
In fact, plenty of Hollywood stars have had orthodontic treatment. Check out this list of famous names, courtesy of ABC News. If you’ve thought about getting the perfect smile you’ve always wanted, please give Tavarez Orthodontics a call.

You may remember that in February, Dr. Tavarez and team discussed the importance of wearing a mouth guard while participating in sports activities. Today, we thought we'd follow-up by sharing a helpful video about the benefits of protecting your mouth. After all, April - which is only a day away - happens to be National Facial Protection Month. According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, children, high-school athletes and adults will have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events this year.
Above is a helpful video from our friends at the AAO about staying safe on the ball field this spring. Protective gear is vital for anyone engaging in tooth or mouth-threatening activities. If you have any further questions about any of the tips offered in the video, please contact Tavarez Orthodontics. And remember to have fun and stay safe!
