When a celebrity wears a unique style or dines at a certain restaurant, they start a trend. Changes in fashion happen this way, even for people who may not be fans of the celebrity. How stylish can celebrities make orthodontia?

Movie stars, musicians and politicians aren’t just spending money on teeth whitening to look good. Celebrities need healthy straight teeth for acting in movies, performing in plays or singing in a band, however not all stars were born with straight white smiles. Veneers are very popular among celebrities, but veneers can’t make the most perfect, straight white smile by themselves. That’s why celebrities wear braces. Celebrities were once children and many had braces when they were younger, while other movie stars get braces as adults. Many teenage movie stars and young professional athletes elect for braces so that they will have the perfect smile for the rest of their careers.

Gwyneth Paltrow had braces in high school. In photos from Gwyneth Paltrow’s teenage years, she appears completely confident and not the least self-conscious about the braces attached to her big smile. Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore and Nicholas Cage are all part of the same braces club. Tom Cruise even had braces as an adult to fix a slight misalignment and crowding of his teeth. So did Allysa Milano. Singers like Gwen Stefani, Estelle and Fantasia Barrino have proudly posed with their big braced smiles too.

Braces were also necessary for younger celebrities who were active in the public eye from a young age. Dakota Fanning, Lourdes Leon and Emma Watson are a few of these young celebrities who confidently flash their braces when they smile.

Even celebrities in their senior years elect to get braces to straighten their smiles. Faye Dunaway is one of them.

Famous People With Braces

Appearance is important to those living the life of the rich and famous. There’s no way around a crooked or gap-toothed smile besides braces. Celebrities who have opted for braces showed exactly how stylish their teeth can be as they transform into a straight healthy smile. With different colored braces available, most celebrities turn their braces into accessories and use their smile to express themselves. Braces can be just as stylish as a statement outfit or glamorous hairstyle. Maybe some celebrities elect for braces behind teeth, or if their smile doesn’t require serious straightening, a gradual shift through a retainer system. Either way, celebrities have to be their best—and their smiles have to be the best too.
