No one on earth is perfect, not even celebrities, multimillionaires like the Jenners or Miley Cyrus. However, Hollywood stars have a tremendous amount of money and willpower. Therefore, once actors and actresses achieve fame, they often seek to correct their physical flaws and perfect their star image! Indeed, many individuals were born with imperfectly aligned teeth and this requires different types of interventions known as "cosmetic dentistry" such as the placement of crowns, implants, and veneers to achieve a breathtaking super-smile...! In this article, we will look at the changes of stars such as Tom Cruise, Victoria Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Clooney, Morgan Freeman, and Céline. Actors/actresses, filmmakers, models, or top-level athletes, these personalities are known to all and have transformed their smiles into a deadly weapon!
Star solutions for a more beautiful smile and radiant beauty!
Ceramic rings
Ceramic rings represent the treatment of choice for many sports stars and big screen celebrities as they are generally less visible than traditional metal rings. They function in a similar way, applying a gentle and constant force that allows for the slow movement of teeth to improve their positioning and the smile in general.
The solution of gum surgery
During this procedure, the excess gum and or bone tissue is reshaped to better highlight the patient's dentition. See our article on gummy smiles and edentulous smiles.
Implants
The dental implant is a small screw designed to replace the root of a tooth and restore the physical appearance and chewing function of patients suffering from complete or partial loss of their dentition. The implant is intended to be used in the upper and/or lower jaw for the purpose of supporting so-called "prosthetic" devices such as artificial teeth. Most dental implants are made from titanium, known for its biocompatibility and strength. This allows for a good tolerance to this type of treatment as well as a long duration over time.
Laminates
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain firmly bonded to your teeth to recreate the natural shade and shape of your original teeth. In cases of severe discoloration, fractures, or dental wear, veneers are very effective in restoring the original appearance of your teeth.
The solution for teeth whitening
Teeth whitening brightens teeth and helps eliminate stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures as it can greatly enhance the appearance of your teeth. Whitening is not a one-time procedure. It will need to be repeated from time to time if you wish to maintain a brighter color.
Tom Cruise Before / After
Tom Cruise decided to undergo a dental/orthodontic treatment at the beginning of his acting career. He has nonetheless undergone numerous cosmetic dental procedures such as bonding, teeth whitening, dental implants, fixed bridges, a crown, veneers, and more...! 
After already undergoing some treatments during his career, he decided to find a solution for his misaligned tooth. This is how he started a new treatment with braces. Fans will remember: In 2002, at the premiere of the film 'Minority Report', he surprised everyone with his (dental) bands! Instead of hiding them, the famous actor flashed a wide smile to clearly display his bands. He notably opted for ordinary wire with clear brackets, which later became a trend. It was these "invisible" hooks that gave him the confidence to smile so broadly in those images. The "Invisalign" teeth straightening procedures use removable clear plastic aligners. This is why it remains the preferred dental device for Hollywood celebrities who wish to maintain their crucial image for their jobs throughout the treatment. It is true that invisible threads are gaining popularity day by day. However, they have their advantages and disadvantages. It takes a lot of time (usually weeks) to make these rings, sometimes with enamel or resin. Moreover, they are not as durable as ordinary threads. But the positive side is that you can wear them without discomfort and remove them whenever you wish at the clinic. His teeth are not quite perfect; he has a slight misalignment with one tooth always being a little more centered than the other. Nevertheless, this gives him a distinction that makes his smile even more unique and appealing to his fans and the general public...!
Victoria Beckham Before / After
Victoria Beckham is well known for not showing her teeth often. During her public appearances, Victoria had until recently avoided revealing her teeth, giving her a mythical 'poker face' that has sometimes played tricks on her. But for some time now, her behavior has changed; she talks about it in an interview with Glamour UK Getty News. "I want to be honest. In the past, I probably hid behind my armor," she expressed. She claims that she has indeed started to accept herself more and let her guard down... "There is something truly liberating about embracing who I am at 45 and owning it, feeling confident, feeling satisfied," she explained. Many phenomena can explain her change in life, one of which is related to her smile that the actress allows herself to showcase more often now. Indeed, based on the before-and-after photos, we can see that Victoria has probably gone through the use of braces (a possible explanation for her desire not to want to smile). Once the teeth are better aligned, based on the post-treatment photos, one might think that she would have used a veneer or even several porcelain ones that give her a much more photogenic smile. Hoping to see her smiling a lot and for a long time! Let's move on to the next star who has had her smile enhanced and shaped!
Cristiano Ronaldo Before / After :
Cristiano Ronaldo was not born with an angel's smile either...! Cristiano first started by getting a braces to straighten his teeth before consulting Dr. Mario Montoya (the dentist of the stars). This is how Cristiano had porcelain veneers made and placed at Matizz Clínicas Odontológicas in Colombia. The operation greatly allowed him to perfect his teeth, however, it does not come cheap... expect to pay around $30,000 US for the complete procedure! There are still clinics and dentists that offer the same service at a more affordable price! It also appears that Cristiano Ronaldo underwent gum surgery to lift the gum line and consequently, lengthen and reposition his teeth before the placement of veneers. Generally speaking, patients can enjoy the benefits of adding veneers for up to 20 years after their placement. To conclude, Cristiano Ronaldo probably needs to undergo a regular teeth whitening procedure in order to always maintain a truly extraordinary smile!
George Clooney Before / After
In France too! George Clooney's beautiful white teeth give him a great and beautiful bright smile that is highly appreciated by his fans! It is said that George Clooney often grinds his teeth when he is stressed throughout his life, which is why he would have opted for veneers to enhance his smile. According to his entourage, George Clooney is dedicated to taking care of his facets by regularly making appointments with his dentist or at the clinic!
Morgan Freeman - Before / After :
You may remember seeing him in 1989 driving Miss Daisy, in 1994 The Shawshank Redemption, in 2003 Bruce Almighty, on Getty images, or in 2004 Million Dollar Baby. There is no doubt that Morgan Freeman is one of the best actors of his generation, but his teeth had become yellowed with age. However, Freeman had not said his last word! He decided to improve his dental health after Shawshank Redemption, and the transformation was extremely beneficial for him! The Oscar-nominated actor had whitened and also eliminated the gap in the middle of his incisors. Due to the wear on some of his teeth, Freeman likely had to resort to dental implants, particularly a maxillary bridge or a crown. It is thanks to all this that George Freeman maintains a thunderous smile! His smile has earned him many years and has greatly helped him access numerous roles in film.
Celine Dion - Before / After :
Before making her debut in the United States, she underwent a complete rejuvenation treatment, which notably included cosmetic dentistry treatments, to make her image more appealing to the masses! But let's first return to the beginning of his career which, like many other stars, had a hard time finding his "image.". She indeed slowly gained recognition in the 1980s in France and England. Her singing talent was already undeniable. However, her appearance was not perfect and in this industry, the competition is fierce and can quickly be judged on that! Her manager and now husband for many years, René Angeli, realized that in order to become an international celebrity, she would need to change physically starting with her teeth. Indeed, at the time, the star's teeth appeared discolored and crooked (as the photo above attests). Moreover, her incisors were particularly large and detracted from the rest of her appearance. In fact, her incisors were so large that the celebrity magazines of Quebec News began to refer to the singer as "Canine Dion". The ridicule faced by the media on one hand and the desire to gain notoriety on the other were two good reasons that led Céline Dion to undergo dental treatments, such as the placement of dental crowns and whitening of her teeth. Rather than having a completely new (and artificial) smile through the use of porcelain veneers, Céline Dion decided to have crowns placed on her incisors. This crown or caps, allowed to mask her large teeth, align them, and proportion them with the rest of her dentition. It is also believed that the star frequently resorts to teeth whitening. Indeed, today more than ever, her teeth have a healthy appearance and a brilliant shine. Céline Dion is also a model of discipline when it comes to maintaining the perfect appearance of her teeth over all these years! In 2008, she surprised her tour producers by demanding that her dentist accompany her throughout her tour! As you will have understood, it is work and it is very important for the aesthetics of the face, and the stars have understood that! Now, having beautiful teeth holds no secrets for you... However, it remains essential to include other key factors to perfect your smile such as your mouth: your lips and the contour of your lips. We will discuss this in our next article!
