If the eyes are a reflection of the soul, then teeth are a kind of visiting card of a person. But if ordinary people are most often content with what nature has awarded them, then celebrities try to make their smile perfect. In some cases, it is enough for artists to just whiten the dentition. But sometimes the problems are so serious that it requires wearing special devices to fix them. Here is a list of famous actors who have worn braces on their teeth. And also their photos before and after the intervention of specialists.
Tom Cruise
- All films in the Mission Impossible franchise, The Last Samurai, Rain Man.
One of the most popular and highly paid actors in the world suffered from dental defects in childhood and early adolescence. In the photographs from the period where Tom is captured smiling, the scale of the disaster is clearly visible: yellow color, malocclusion and curvature. To cope with the problems, Cruz had to walk for a long time with a lingual arch in his mouth. And at 40, he appeared at the premiere of his film, shining with ceramic braces. In addition, the artist resorted to the whitening procedure several times, and instead of the blackened upper incisor, he inserted an implant. But now he is the owner of a snow-white Hollywood smile, from which the hearts of his fans stop.
Angelina Jolie
- Gone in 60 Seconds, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Girl, Interrupted.
One of the most beautiful and desirable actresses in her youth also could not boast of a perfect smile. But these were not global problems, but only a slight curvature that caused discomfort to young Angelina. To rectify the situation, the future film star had to acquire “glands in her mouth” for some time, as the actress herself said. Later, when Jolie had already achieved stellar status, she once again turned to orthodontists to correct the bite.
Nicolas Cage
- "Rock", "City of Angels", "Faceless".
Nicholas is one of the entertainers who wore braces as adults. In the early photographs of the star, all dental flaws are clearly visible: color and shape, malocclusion. The experts had to sweat a lot to give Cage's "unformatted" teeth a real Hollywood chic. True, for this, veneers and crowns were placed on the actor's upper jaw, but the lower row was corrected with a metal structure.
Danny Glover
- "Muslim", "Five Minarets in New York", "Lethal Weapon".
The American actor, director and producer decided to install a special dental arch when he was already over 60. As you can see in the photographs, he had no particular problems with curvature of his teeth. Most likely, the reason for the need to install a metal system was an incorrect bite and the functional problems that arose from it.
Dacote Fanning
- "Now is the time", "Dreamer", "Anger".
This Hollywood actress knows firsthand what an ugly smile is. As a child, she had to endure a lot of ridicule from peers due to the fact that her upper incisors and canines looked like an uneven palisade: some protruded forward, while others were drowned inward. Fortunately, the parents of the future celebrity turned to specialists in time, and Dakota became the owner of the braces system. When you look at a photo of her teeth then and now, the difference is literally stunning.
Emma Watson
- Little Women, Colony of Dignidad, all films of the Harry Potter franchise.
Glory came to young Emma at the age of 11. It was then that she drew her lucky ticket, getting the role of Hermione Granger in the film adaptation of the famous "Potteriana". If you look closely at the pictures of Watson from the period where she smiles broadly, it becomes noticeable that the lateral incisors and canines are not located. To correct this dental flaw, the star wore metal braces for a while. And today her smile looks perfect.
Megan Fox
- "Transformers", "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", "Rock and Roll Away."
Like most of her colleagues in the shop, Megan also turned to specialists for help. In her youth, she had some problems with the position and shape of her teeth. To correct these defects, the girl used a special design for a long time, and later, being already a famous actress, she put on snow-white ceramic veneers.
Matthew Lewis
- "Death in Paradise", "Ripper Street", all episodes of the MCU "Harry Potter".
It's no coincidence that Matthew was included in our list of actors who wore braces on their teeth. Just look at his photo before and after the intervention of orthodontists. Working on the role of Neville Longbottom, the young performer "shone" with incredibly crooked teeth. And between the two central incisors on top, he had a fairly large gap. Only after the completion of filming, the artist asked for professional help. The treatment was lengthy, but today Lewis has a stunning smile.
Drew Barrymore
- “Alien”, “Miss You Already”, “50 First Kisses”.
Drew Barrymore became a celebrity at the age of 7, starring in the cult film by Steven Spielberg "Alien". The shots of the film clearly demonstrate in what a terrible state the teeth of the young actress were at that time. Drew had a severe bite defect and his upper incisors were irregular in size and shape. In order to correct dental problems, the girl was fitted with non-removable braces.
Cameron Diaz
- "Mask", "Day Knight", "My Guardian Angel".
Today, this famous performer can boast of beautiful teeth, and a wide, dazzling smile has long become her trademark. But it was not always so. As a child, Cameron suffered from malocclusion and irregularities in the dentition, so she had to undergo full orthodontic treatment.
Faye Dunaway
- Bonnie and Clyde, Arizona Dream, Chinatown.
The owner of the coveted Oscar statuette, the foreign film star turned to orthodontists for professional help at a mature age. The actress was 61 years old when she decided to correct the bite and put on metal braces. After her teeth were in place, Fay placed the veneers.
Anna Khilkevich
- "University. New hostel "," Fir-trees 2 "," Call DiCaprio ".
Among Russian actors, there are also those who have resorted to the services of specialists in the treatment of dental anomalies. According to Anna, as a child she had dental problems, so she had to live with braces in her mouth for a while. True, having achieved popularity, she decided on more drastic changes and put veneers.
Anna Mikhailovskaya
- "Captain", "Model", "Karpov".
One of the most beautiful actresses of Russian cinema, the owner of a stunning smile, during her school years, Anya also installed a special metal structure to align the bite.
The list of actors who wore braces on their teeth goes on for a long time. Among those who corrected dental defects, Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl", "Age of Adaline", "City of Thieves"), Gwyneth Paltrow ("Seven", "Iron Man", "The Talented Mr. Ripley" ), Scarlett Johansson ("Jojo the Rabbit", "Another Boleyn One", "The Avengers"), Emma Stone ("La La Land", "Maniac", "Favorite") and many others ... And we must admit that the result of the work of the specialists is impressive. It is enough to look at the photos of the stars before and after the intervention.
