Klass-ey Invisible Braces
Television presenter Myleene Klass has recently landed a plum job presenting ITV’s This Morning on Fridays and it seems she celebrated by vowing to straighten her imperfect teeth. The celebrity inadvertently revealed her orthodontic device during a recent segment on the show that involved food tasting. Until that point it was not public knowledge that Myleene was undergoing orthodontic treatment, but she has since confirmed that she had the brace fitted some time ago to bring her teeth into line.
Myleene is not the only celebrity to use ‘invisible’ braces to perfect their smile. Singer Cheryl Cole and actress Kelly brook are just two of the well known faces that have had orthodontic braces fitted by a cosmetic dentist in recent years as part of their quest for confidence in their appearance.
Myleene’s braces are fitted to the rear of her teeth, whereas traditional braces were either fixed to the front face of the teeth or to a cumbersome plate that inhibited the patient’s speech and ability to eat. Regular fixed braces, instead of increasing the confidence of the wearer can actually have a detrimental effect on their self-image and for many the process of wearing the equipment can cause more harm than the poor tooth alignment ever did.
An invisible brace can straighten out crowded and misaligned teeth in a fraction of the time that a traditional brace takes to have an effect. It need only be worn for between 16 and 20 hours per day and can be removed for business meetings, presentations and interviews, causing no impairment to the performance of the wearer. It will cost considerably less than alternative types of orthodontic work and no one need ever know that you are wearing a brace – unless you happen to be opening wide with a television camera in your face!
