Celebrities aren’t always born picture-perfect – sometimes they undergo cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance. In certain instances, stars receive braces or other orthodontic treatments to correct crooked, overlapping or overcrowded teeth.
Braces may be more common than you think among your favorite celebrities. Now, let’s take a look at 12 famous faces who have used braces to straighten their teeth and achieve their trademark beautiful, healthy smiles.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise, star of “Mission: Impossible,” “Top Gun” and other blockbuster movies, once suffered from misaligned and yellow teeth. But thanks to dental veneers and braces, Cruise revamped his smile. Dental veneers consist of tooth-colored porcelain or a resin composite material. For Cruise, they were used to cover the yellow surface of his teeth. Cruise showed off his braces in 2002 at the “Minority Report” film premiere. Cruise’s braces included a regular wire with invisible brackets and helped him achieve a straight, sparkling smile.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus, actress, singer, songwriter and daughter of country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus, used lingual braces to help straighten her teeth. Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth, making them virtually invisible. Once Cyrus’ braces treatment was complete, she used porcelain veneers to further enhance her smile.
Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani is a fashion icon with a style all her own. Before she was famous, however, Stefani could not afford braces to help straighten her teeth, according to Cosmopolitan. Stefani eventually underwent a braces procedure in 1999 at the age of 30. She also received teeth whitening treatments to address her discolored teeth. The result of Stefani’s braces and teeth whitening treatments: a terrific smile.
Prince Harry
Prince Harry has proven that even the Duke of Sussex can use braces to enhance his smile. As a teenager, Prince Harry wore braces on the bottom of his teeth for at least a decade. The braces treatment worked well – it helped Prince Harry straighten his teeth and achieve a smile fit for a member of the British Royal Family.
Faith Hill
In 2012, country music star Faith Hill added a new accessory to her wardrobe – braces. Hill was 45 at the time of her braces procedure. She admitted that her failure to wear her retainer as a child played a key role in her decision to get braces as an adult. With braces, Hill set a positive example for her daughters Gracie and Maggie, both of whom wore braces at the time.
Faye Dunaway
Actress Faye Dunaway proved that anyone – regardless of age – can reap the benefits of an orthodontic procedure. After five years of weighing the pros and cons of a dental treatment, Dunaway underwent a veneers treatment in 2006 at age 61. The treatment helped Dunaway achieve a bright, vibrant smile that continues to resonate with her fans worldwide.
Nicolas Cage
Actor Nicolas Cage has shown that he is willing to sacrifice his teeth for his craft. For example, Cage had two teeth pulled prior to production of the 1984 film “Birdy” to ensure his facial appearance matched the character he was set to portray. He has also received several orthodontic treatments over the years, including both veneers and braces procedures. Veneers helped Cage safeguard his teeth against discoloration, while braces enabled him to straighten his teeth.
Kendall Jenner
If at first, you don’t succeed with braces, try again – just consider American model and TV personality Kendall Jenner. Initially, Jenner received braces at age 13 to help straighten her smile. Jenner moved on to invisible braces at age 17 to perfect her smile. Today, the 22-year-old Jenner boasts an amazing smile that dazzles on runways and TV screens alike.
Emma Watson
Emma Watson, an actress perhaps best-known for her portrayal of Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” film series, didn’t need wizardry or spells to improve her smile. Instead, she was fitted for braces, which helped straighten her teeth and boost her self-confidence. Watson wore braces before the first “Harry Potter” film was produced. She also sported braces for about four months in 2005 between the filming of the third and fourth “Harry Potter” movies.
Oprah Winfrey
Count media mogul Oprah Winfrey among the celebrities who have used Invisalign treatments to enhance their teeth. Winfrey admitted she disliked her natural teeth, and to improve them, wore Invisalign braces as an adult. The Invisalign braces were discreet, and as a result, allowed Winfrey to improve her smile without drawing unwanted attention to her orthodontic treatment.
Justin Bieber
Pop star Justin Bieber got Invisalign braces in 2011 at age 16. He wore the braces for approximately 22 hours per day, and removed his Invisalign’s clear aligners only to eat or brush or floss his teeth. Since his Invisalign braces treatment, Bieber’s dazzling smile has captured the hearts of millions “Beliebers” globally.
Dakota Fanning
Actress Dakota Fanning is no stranger to the big screen. She is no stranger to extensive dental and orthodontic treatments, either. In addition to having her baby teeth pulled after her adult teeth began to develop behind them, Fanning required braces, expanders and headgear to improve her smile. Fanning’s comprehensive dental and orthodontic treatments appear to have paid off. To date, Fanning has landed roles in “Ocean’s Eight,” “War of the Worlds” and “Charlotte’s Web,” among other notable films.
