Tim allen? Hes a legend...home improvements, all the movies he's been in. I have got the right tim allen havn't i?
I think if more celebrities spoke about their time in braces or publicly wore braces, there would be less people, adults and children, turning down the option of braces. In today's celebrity culture (esp over in the uk), if a certain celeb is sporting a bad everyone must have it. So i think if celebrities were more proud wearing a brace then many more children and adults would be less embarrassed to be brace wearers.

A friend at work who knows I'm getting a brace cut an article out of the newspaper for me. I quote "if you really want to be in with the in-crowd, get braces on your teeth". Also "forget Botox; the latest name to drop is definitely your orthodontist's" An orthodontist says that about 50% of his patients are adults.
Celebrities listed in addition to some already named in this thread are:
Princess Beatrice
Prince William (who had ceramic)
Karen Millen (Fashion entrepreneur) who had linguals for 15 months aged 45
