While metal braces have been the traditional option for straightening teeth, recent years have seen clear aligners become a more popular choice. Our North Delta dentists share some of the celebrities who have chosen Invisalign clear aligners as a discreet orthodontic option.
Orthodontic treatment can be an option both if you are hoping to make minor cosmetic changes or if you suffer from an oral condition. While metal braces have been a common option for years, the use of clear aligners has been increasing in popularity which has been partially driven by the fact that celebrities have openly used them. Invisalign clear aligners can be used in combination with teeth whitening treatments to completely refresh your smile. If you are considering orthodontic treatment with Invisalign you may be curious about the celebrities that have used them.
Here is a short list of some of the celebrities that have used Invisalign clear aligners:
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber was happy to share his experience with orthodontic treatment using Invisalign. He actually took the time to make YouTube videos where he showed his aligners and talked about what his experience was like while wearing his clear aligners.
Khloe Kardashian
When a celebrity has to spend so much time in front of a camera, they likely want to avoid anything taking the focus in a photo or video which makes Invisalign an appealing option over metal braces. Khloe was able to use Invisalign to straighten her teeth without the press knowing thanks to the lack of metal wires and brackets.
Tom Cruise
While Tom Cruise has always been known to flash a great smile, he actually discovered during a routine dental visit with his children that his teeth weren't centred. Tom ended up discussing his options while at the dental clinic and arrived at the decision to use Invisalign clear aligners to help move his teeth into place.
Serena Williams
Serena Williams has a winning smile to match her 23 Grand Slam wins. What some people may not realize is that Serena actually ended up using Invisalign clear aligners at the age of 16 to help change the location of her teeth and create a straight, healthy smile.
Zac Efron
Zac Efron hasn't always had the smile he has today! Zac actually had a gap between the incisors and the molars, a condition called diastema. Invisalign clear aligners were used to help align his teeth and allow a straight smile to shine through.
Katherine Heigl
Leading up to her wedding Katherine Heigl was considering having orthodontic treatment to help realign her mildly crooked teeth, but she didn't want to deal with the appearance of traditional metal braces. That's why she turned to Invisalign's clear orthodontic aligners to straighten her teeth. Pleased with her 2007 Invisalign treatment process and the results, Katharine dubbed them “Netflix for your teeth” in an interview with Extra.
Eva Longoria
During an interview with InStyle magazine Eva Longoria revealed that she underwent orthodontic treatment using Invisalign clear aligners to straighten her slightly overlapping bottom teeth.
Gisele Bundchen
Even Gisele Bundchen has had misalignment problems in the past. In fact, one of Gisele's teeth began shifting out of position, which created a shadow when she smiled. As a model, her teeth were a major selling point and so she chose to use Invisalign to straighten her teeth.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah was spotted wearing Invisalign aligners on her show. So, while she has not been open about it, her beautiful smile may be due in part to her Invisalign treatment.
