About the Show
This cartoon is about a girl named Sharon Spitz. She lives in Elkford, British Columbia. Sharon is a junior high student who has braces. But these aren't just any braces!
Her braces are always charged with electricity. This gives her some really strange abilities. She can control machines from far away. She can also listen in on wireless conversations. Sometimes, she can even send electricity directly from her braces! These powers often get her into funny and tricky situations.
In the first season, Sharon goes to Mary Pickford Junior High. Later in the series, she moves on to high school. The show follows her adventures as she tries to live a normal teenage life with her unusual braces.
