If you’ve been keeping up with the latest from the world of celebrities and fashion, you’ll have noticed something: stars seem to be completely obsessed with their teeth. But why? What purpose does it serve?
It turns out that you can tell a lot about someone from their teeth. They’re a portal into their diet, the amount of money they have and whether they take their personal appearance seriously or not. Celebrities tend to obsess over their diets, have a lot of money if they don’t make regular trips to Vegas and spend most of the day thinking about their looks and style. It’s no wonder then that so many become obsessed with their teeth.
What’s interesting about the current celebrity culture is just how embedded having great teeth now is. Rarely do you find a top of the line celebrity who has some glaring problem with their teeth. In fact, if you ever go to or watch a celebrity event, you’ll find practically the opposite – almost everybody there will has dazzlingly white, if not perfectly straight, teeth.
The great thing about this celebrity movement towards oral perfection is the fact that we all get to benefit. Celebrities often move first: then the rest of us follow. Here’s how their obsession with teeth can help make you more beautiful.
Better Oral Health
To get beautiful teeth, you have to have excellent oral hygiene. We all know that. But what does great oral hygiene actually mean in practice? It’s not just about brushing twice a day for a total of four minutes – a message that has been drummed into us all. It’s also about making sure that you’re timing when you brush your teeth to preserve your enamel. If you’re a healthy eater, for instance, there’s a high chance that you’re eating a lot of acidic foods: think grapefruit, hibiscus tea, and pomegranate. After you eat these foods, the acid from them stays on your teeth, dissolving the enamel. If you brush right after you eat something acidic, you actually end up brushing away a thin layer of enamel. Do this over and over again, and your teeth will gradually thin – not something you want.
Straighter Teeth
Top celebs always seem to have straight teeth too. And let’s just be clear: they weren’t all born that way. But getting straight teeth is a hassle right? Well, thanks to some innovative dentists, it’s not anymore. With products like eBrace – braces that fit on the inside rather than the outside of your teeth – many celebrities are now able to hide the fact that they’re even wearing braces, getting the benefits, but avoiding having to smile awkwardly at the camera.
No Chips Or Gaps
Here’s another thing that we see less and less among celebrities: chips and gaps in teeth. Long gone are the days when Madonna’s smile was something to be celebrated. Thanks to porcelain veneers, it’s possible to correct all of this stuff for a relatively low price. You too can have perfect teeth, thanks to all the money that celebrities have already spent in search of the perfect smile.
