What Parents Need to Know
About Braceface
Parents need to know that, content-wise, there isn't anything in this show for them to worry about. It's an entertaining, if somewhat bland, cartoon about a 14-year-old starting high school and trying to fit in. Traditional issues of adolescence are highlighted, including dating, high school culture, responsibility, and, of course, braces.
