Basic Trope: Braces that are inconvenient and/or ugly.

  • Straight: Bethy wears blatant braces with a headgear.
  • Exaggerated: Bethy's braces look less like actual braces and more like the Reverse Bear Trap from Saw.
  • Downplayed: Bethy's braces are obvious, but are not exaggeratedly detailed.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: Bethy's braces are actually very cute looking and helps her Endearingly Dorky Bespectacled Cutie look.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted:
    • Braces are portrayed as normal.
    • Nobody has braces.
  • Enforced:
  • Lampshaded: "Bethy, your braces look terrible."
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied:
    • Bethy quickly sees the design of the braces and turns down the offer to wear them.
    • A company is tasked with creating braces with such a design, but rejects the initial version and invests more funding in research so they can create more discreet designs.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "Why are braces in fiction always so horrible?"
