The Perfect Hollywood Smile

How do the stars of Hollywood do it? How do they manage to look so perfect?

Just look at Cameron Diaz. Can you remember a time when the Charlie’s Angels star didn’t light up the screen in every film she starred in? Well, a major contributor to her sex appeal is her beautiful smile. It wasn’t, however, always like that for Cameron until she improved her smile with braces.

What about Tom Cruise? One minute he’s a geeky teenager strutting around in his underwear with a crooked grin in Risky Business; the next he is destroying Martians with a winning smile in War of the Worlds. To improve his smile he underwent orthodontic treatment for two years in the early 2000s. Even for a star who is constantly under public scrutiny the actor famously and confidently showed off his braces at the Oscars in 2002 and many viewers didn’t even notice.
However if you are not as confident as Tom, nowadays  Invisalign™, a system of clear, plastic aligners can prove to be the perfect invisible option to straighten your teeth without having to wear braces and wires on your teeth.

Some stars go for the opposite approach and proudly wear metal braces with pride. Recently Liv Tyler wore them in her role as therapist Angela Oakhurst in Reign Over Me and Clueless star Donald Faison’s braces were in constant sight as he played Dr. Christopher Turk in the popular medical comedy Scrubs. It’s amazing when you take a closer look, how many stars have worn braces in recent years. Braces have become so commonplace that they have even been added to fictional characters. Betty of the TV show Ugly Betty proudly wears her braces to the offices of Mode Magazine everyday. In a bizarre chain of events, America Ferrera, the actress who plays Betty, has had her smile insured by Lloyds of London for the princely sum of $US10,000,000.

There are, however, different options that can be taken to gain that perfect Hollywood smile.

Porcelain Veneers have become an incredibly popular and easy way to correct and improve your smile. Veneers are a thin porcelain shell that is bonded to the surface of the tooth. They have an instant effect on the look of your smile. Tooth veneers can be used to cover teeth that are crooked, damaged, discolored, crowded teeth and can be even used to fill big gaps between teeth. Any imperfection can be corrected.

The ability of porcelain veneers to make any smile perfect is the main reason that veneers have become the mainstay behind almost every Hollywood smile. Your average A List actor doesn’t have the time for orthodontics; time off in the dentist’s chair could cost them millions. Unless of course you want to turn your braces into a fashion accessory like Tom Cruise. Generally, most people want instant results and that’s where porcelain veneers come in. With just a few sessions at the dentist, a Hollywood style smile could be yours.
