Braceface is about the awkwardness of growing up, and no one knows that better than 14 year-old Sharon Spitz. She's a typical teenager who's going through puberty, but to make matters worse, she just got braces!

Braceface - Main Characters

Sharon Spitz - It's hard to be cool when your braces are a mouthful of trouble! While Sharon was sitting in the dentist chair, a fluke electrically charged her braces. Now, her braces get her into embarrassing situations, like attracting magnetic objects and tuning into cell phone conversations.

Maria Wong - Maria is Sharon's best gal pal. She's competitive, aggressive and loves to participate in extreme sports.

Connor MacKenzie - Connor is Sharon's other best friend. He's a science whiz and is known as "the walking sneeze" cuz he's allergic to almost everything!

Alden Jones - Alden is the coolest guy in school. He's into video games and sports and plays guitar in a band called Mangled Metal. He was Sharon's first crush and first boyfriend, but now they're just friends.

Brock Leighton - Brock is Alden's best bud. He thinks he's a ladies man, but the girls definitely don't think so!

Nina Harper - Nina is the most popular girl in school. She and Sharon used to be best friends in junior high, but now they're enemies. Nina even gave Sharon the nickname, Braceface!
