Celebrity Teeth Transformations

Celebrities are notorious for keeping the plastic surgery industry alive, but some of the changes that we mock are extremely desirable for many of us. When you are distracted by a ‘flaw’ of an actor or actress, it hurts their career. Is it their slowly-forming wrinkles, their average-sized lips, or bust size that distract us from enjoying and appreciating their performances in movies and television? Probably not. However, transforming those gnarled yellows into pearly whites is an extremely smart career move.

Tom Cruise

The Top Gun star turned Scientology maniac did wonders for his teeth; too bad he didn’t make the same smart career moves. Before his bout with Katie Holmes-induced insanity on Oprah, Tom gladly showed off his adult braces on a multitude of talk shows, claiming that dental health is important at any age, and it is never too late for braces!

Zac Efron

Nothing like a few adolescent fall into gap jokes to make you self-conscious about your teeth, right? Efron’s current award-winning smile has taken him to the big screen more than once, so it is safe to say that the return on his investment was well worth it.

Miley Cyrus

Speaking of child celebrities, Hannah Montana’s alter ego has a much sweeter smile than the younger counterpart. It is safe to say that her new teeth are going to bring her confidence and a much bigger grin in years to come.

50 Cent

One of the biggest rappers of all time, 50 took the right path by getting veneers instead of a grill like many of his colleagues. With a mike that close to his mouth it may be difficult to see his new additions, but they are nonetheless a beautiful upgrade.

Elliot Yamin

Not the biggest celebrity of all time, but one of the biggest transformations in the last few years. Many stars that hit Hollywood got their because of talent and connections as well as good looks. It’s not to say that Elliot isn’t a stud, but his modified smile looks much nicer to look at than the original.

Steve O

While there is no hope of taming this Jackass survivor and star, his teeth certainly look like they’ve finally gotten back on track. It goes to show you that no matter what kinds of crazy things you may have done, you can always salvage your smile.

Well, there you have it; some of the best, and most-admired recent celebrity teeth transformations!
