Celebrities get braces, too!

Did you know that back in 2002, Tom Cruise had braces? During this time, he was 40 years old and filmed Minority Report, Austin Powers in Goldmember and the Last Samurai. Check out his smile in Jerry Maguire, Rain Man or The Firm and compare to the post-braces Tom Cruise in Valkyrie or Tropic Thunder. The fact is, movie stars need to look their best for the silver screen, and it wouldn't be possible without orthodontists like Dr. Kossoff.

In fact, lots of Hollywood stars have had orthodontic treatment. Check out this slideshow of famous faces with braces. If you’ve thought about getting the perfect smile you’ve always wanted, please give Kossoff Orthodontics a call.

Meet Our Orthodontist

Born and raised in Cleveland, Dr. Kossoff is a true Buckeye. He began his journey toward becoming an orthodontist after graduating from Brush High School and attending Ohio State University, where he graduated from Dental School in 1971.

After graduating, Dr. Kossoff served in the Army Dental Corps for two years. Once out of the army, Dr. Kossoff returned to Cleveland, where he attended Case Western Reserve University to receive his Master’s of Science Degree in Orthodontics.

In 1975, Dr. Kossoff opened his practice, and ever since that very first day as an orthodontist, it has been his goal to serve the orthodontic needs of his patients in a fun, caring environment! Dr. Kossoff’s greatest joy as an orthodontist is getting to see the happiness on the face of a patient who before receiving orthodontic treatment hated to smile, and now loves to smile with confidence.

Dr. Kossoff received the Most Treasured Volunteer Award for providing orthodontic care from the Cleveland Free Clinic. He also served as a member of the craniofacial team at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital for over 25 years, and he continues to teach and lecture at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine Orthodontic Department.
