What happens

Braceface is a Canadian coming-of-age teen sitcom-drama animated television series co-produced by Nelvana Limited and Jade Animation (Shenzhen) Company that aired on Teletoon (now known as "Cartoon Network" in Canada). The show features U.S. actress Alicia Silverstone from the teen comedy film Clueless (who also voiced the title character for the first two seasons) serving as executive producer. The episodes focus on the misadventures of Sharon Spitz, a high school student who often struggles with an unusual ability occurring in her braces, which often makes mishaps in her daily life. Although considered to be an iconic feature in the series, later episodes started to drop this narrative in favour of tackling real-life issues. Unlike most animated TV shows that take place in fictional cities or states/provinces, etc., this one takes place in the real-life town of Elkford, British Columbia. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
