If you want to be a movie star, chances are you’re going to need three things: charisma, good looks and talent.

Which is why it comes as no surprise that many actors begin sporting noticeably brighter, straighter smiles in direct correlation with their rise to fame.

As dentists, we see countless before and afters, whether from our own patients or those published in case studies. However, dental changes in the famous, despite not being our patients, can be interesting in their own right. Incisor scoured the internet and hand-picked seven celebrities whose smiles became more beautiful as their careers took off.

7. George Clooney

Mr. Clooney has always had nice teeth, though they have appeared noticeably brighter as of recent.

6. Ben Affleck

Batfleck

Ben Affleck rose to national attention in 1997 after the release of “Good Will Hunting”—the Oscar-winning film he wrote and starred in alongside friend Matt Damon and Robin Williams. After becoming an overnight sensation, Mr. Affleck went on to develop an equally sensational set of pearly whites.

 

 

5. David Bowie

David Bowie

Oh Bowie. What’s not to like? As a master of personal aesthetics and public persona, it comes as no surprise that David has paid his teeth the same attention as the rest of his image.

Here he is with significantly straighter teeth post Ziggy Stardust. The only thing we’re missing is his signature lightning bolt.

 

 

4. Madonna

Madonna

Many argue a gap between the two front teeth is a fashion statement—and perhaps surpasses the conventional smile in both edge and aesthetics. Madonna might feel differently, as this songbird’s tooth gap has diminished with time—though we’ve noticed there’s still a hint left. We say keep it.

 

 

3. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus

Rolling Stone put it right:

Good golly Miss Miley.

Personally, our shock and awe is due more to Miss Cyrus’ dramatically transformed smile than to her eccentric outfits, unconventional public image and compulsive desire to stick her tongue out in the presence of any and every camera.

 

 

2. Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise

Although Mr. Cruise still holds the unique honor of being the only A-list celebrity with a tooth in the exact center of his smile, the braces he sported back in 2002 certainly shifted his famous grin into a more aesthetically pleasing formation.

 

 

1. Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken

How could we create an entire list and not take advantage of the wonderful special effects and makeup Tinseltown is known for?

Though Mr. Walken underwent a wholly disturbing wardrobe transformation for his role as the headless horseman in Tim Burton’s 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow,” we’re happy to say his teeth are looking quite un-pointy these days.
