Back in 2017, a video clip of a distraught Braces-clad basketball fan became a viral sensation. Dubbed the "Northwestern Braces Kid," the metal mouthed sports enthusiast was often noted for his intense reaction to his team's loss.

One writer commented on his braces:
And what’s up with this kid’s braces anyway? Hasn’t orthodontics made great strides in braces? Don’t they make invisible braces these days? This is about an old school a braces set up as you’ll ever see. Classic metallic format with Rubber bands? When’s the last time you saw a kid with braces that had rubber bands? I mean I had Rubber Bands but that was in 1992.
