As I watched the Grammys the other night, I was wondering why Faith Hill kept making such funny expressions. I thought maybe her lips were chapped or she coudn't bear to watch Taylor Swift win everything ... again. But it was her braces! Apparently, the gorgeous country star is following the growing trend of mommies with braces-aged kids indulging in a little mid-life orthodontics of their own. Many women in their late 30s and early 40s (Faith is 45) are opting for full-on train tracks or Invisaligns or thin wires to tweak their smile just as their kids are getting their own metal mouths. It's like hitting the dating scene post-divorce at the same time that your kids are on their first awkward go-round.![]()
