Million-Dollar Smiles – These Celebrity Teeth Transformations are Incredible

By: Lisa Lee | Published: Jan 05, 2023

Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle has always had a beautiful and wide smile, with a noticeable gap at the front, which we think was cute, but she obviously didn’t think so. Even though she has never publicly talked about it, it’s evident that the former actress either wore braces at some point in her life or has veneers that now cover the gap between her front teeth.

Not only that, but very few people have pearl-white teeth like this beauty. Yes, she may have them professionally bleached, but it’s clear she also plays her part in maintaining their color. A royal smile indeed, one that’s fitting for Markle’s status.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise might have one of the most recognizable smiles, but that hasn’t always been the case. At the start of his career, Mr. Cruise was sporting some unsightly munchers. We are talking about discoloration and crookedness you wouldn’t believe if you didn’t trust us; head online and Google it.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is a pretty handsome figure, and we must all admit his teeth make us quite jealous. How can one man have all that despite having such a difficult background. It turns out, before the money started coming in, Ronaldo’s dental formula wasn’t as glorious as it is today.

Ronaldo’s pearly whites are the work of an incredible dentist who did some magic on his otherwise unsightly situation. Before the oral renovation, the soccer star had yellowed chompers and some crooked soldiers as well. Additionally, one of his front teeth was chipped, yikes!

Zac Efron

Since his breakout in the High School Musical series, Zac Efron has always been the heartthrob of many ladies. His chiseled physique and charming smile are challenging to run away from. Even so, looking at his older and newer pictures, you’ll notice a slight difference in his smile.

In his younger years, Zac suffered from the curse of uneven teeth and a gap in his front row. Luckily, his situation was easier than most people on this list, so the dentist only needed to make some slight adjustments that are missable if not keen.

George Clooney

This next guy even had us questioning reality. Apparently, George Clooney has had some dental work done too! That’s pretty surprising, right? Especially considering the man has constantly been flashing his impeccable set since time immemorial. So what happened?

In his younger years, Clooney had a bad habit of grinding his teeth when stressed, leading to some harmful side effects. Eventually, our man was forced to get crowns to strengthen and lengthen his set. Interestingly, once someone mentions this fact and you check out Clooney’s older pics, you might catch signs of erosion before the transformation.

David Beckham

At this rate, no one is safe from the dentist’s chair. Even after appearing in high-profile ad campaigns, David Beckham’s pearly whites are not a natural gift from the heavens. Back in the day, our man suffered from the curse of the English, where he suffered from stained, crooked teeth.

Once Beckham could afford it, our man invested in a good dentist who did extensive work. From veneers to teeth whitening, the dentist went in hard, and the results speak for themselves. God bless the dentists, indeed!

Ben Affleck

If there’s one thing Ben Affleck learned after being cast in Armageddon, it’s that no leading man is complete without a dazzling smile. Winning an Oscar for a screenplay is one thing, but being the romantic lead in a movie is a different ball game.

The actor had buck teeth when he was younger and didn’t transition into the dashing acting roles of his mid-30s until his original set of teeth was changed. Affleck underwent some cosmetic dental treatments, including getting veneers, which improved the appearance of his pearly whites and helped him earn more roles. Indeed, after the Gone Girl star was deemed blockbuster-ready, he went on to become one of Hollywood’s top leading men.

Niall Horan

Alongside Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Harry Styles, Niall Horan made his television debut in the 2010s The X Factor. Of course, we all know that group would later be known as One Direction. Despite the Irish singer’s incredible vocal abilities, he had one flaw: crooked teeth.

Although this imperfection in no way affected how Horan sang, it was a problem for those in charge to make him look perfect for the cameras. The solution was simple: The This Town singer was made to wear braces to straighten his crooked choppers. Looking at Horan’s dazzling smile today, we could say his dentist did a great job.

Jordyn Woods

Jordyn Woods has made a name for herself as a body-positive advocate who boldly embraces her distinctive characteristics, such as the space between her two front teeth. Why wouldn’t she?—many famous people, some icons, had the same flaw but chose to retain their tooth gaps. Madonna and Anna Paquin are two examples.

After saying in 2017 that she wouldn’t fix her teeth because it makes her who she is, Woods debuted a new smile in 2019. Of course, many of her fans were surprised by her fresh pearly whites, so the social media influencer quickly defended her decision, saying she only wanted to try a “new look.”

Emma Roberts

When your famous aunt is Julia Roberts, it’s tough to have a normal childhood. Naturally, it becomes extra difficult if you join Hollywood because you’d be compared to your famous relative and her beautiful smile. That was somewhat what Emma Roberts went through, so she made it a point that her pearly whites were up to par with her Aunt Julia’s.

Since Emma began acting so early in life, she was probably still losing her baby teeth when she made her first appearance on the red carpet. After having her teeth straightened and whitened, the actress now has a gorgeous smile. No wonder she’s not afraid to flash them all the time!

Emma Watson

There’s a story about how Emma Watson wore dentures while filming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone because her baby teeth were falling off. Yet, the truth is, she wore fake gnashers because, in the book, her character Hermione Granger, was known for having an overbite.

Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean Watson had the perfect smile, so she had to have some dental work done. The actress had some crooked teeth that she had a dentist straighten. Her orthodontic treatment was obviously successful, and she now has a stunning, straight smile for which she is well-known and adored. It wasn’t surprising producers found the star perfect for playing the part of Belle in the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast.

Cardi B

There are things about ourselves we all promise to work on once we get rich, and for Cardi B, those were her teeth. As the rapper reveals in her song ‘Bodak Yellow,’ “she got a bag and fixed her teeth,” which isn’t just a catchy line or one meant to rhyme with her last one, but her reality.

For the $40K that Cardi spent on veneers for the beautiful smile she wears today, we say the process was worth every penny. Besides, with her kind of money, we doubt that was an amount that put a dent in her pockets.

Reshaping the gum tissue is a straightforward transformation that produces a more aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical appearance.
