Tom Cruise's 'Crooked' Teeth Transformation Sparks Discussion, Yet Another Icon’s 'New' Teeth Amazed Fans

• Tom Cruise is one of many stars who had crooked teeth back in the day.
• Fellow actor Morgan Freeman also had misaligned teeth.
• These actors are part of the list of showbiz stars who have had dramatic teeth transformations over the years.

Having a perfect smile in show business seems to be important for some Hollywood stars. Many have had their teeth done to achieve that bright white smile that they usually flash when attending high-profile events.

Renowned actors such as Tom Cruise and Morgan Free are some of those A-list stars who have had a dramatic transformation when it comes to their teeth.

Notably, the list of celebrities who have ditched their crooked and discolored teeth for veneers and pearly whites is very long and includes stars such as Gwen Stefani and Nicole Kidman, among others. Here are 10 of them:

1. Tom Cruise

In his younger years in the '80s, Cruise was starring in the movie, "The Outsiders," when he was pictured posing on set with his one tooth sticking out. Cruise was only twenty years old when he began his acting career. At the time, his teeth were not only discolored but misaligned.

The "Mission Impossible" star resorted to teeth whitening to deal with the discoloration and underwent alignment procedures for his not-so-straight gnashers.

At age 39, Cruise eventually decided to get braces. By June 2012, the movie action star's teeth seemed to be straightened out as he attended the "Rock Of Ages" premiere in Hollywood, California.

Moreover, Cruise's teeth have been a topic of discussion as of late. Twitter users have shared their thoughts on the platform while comparing his old photos to recent ones.

In August 2023, one person tweeted, "One of Tom Cruise's front teeth is exactly in the middle of his face." Someone else penned, "Ever since someone told me about Tom Cruise's teeth being off center, I can't help but focus on it when he smiles."

Meanwhile, another individual from Twitter expressed, "I can't unsee that, just like how I can't unsee Tom Cruise's crooked mouth/teeth situation."

2. Morgan Freeman

Like Cruise, Morgan Freeman also had crooked teeth once, and fans have talked about his teeth on social media. "Never thought I'd see Morgan Freeman with new teeth… but here we are," penned one person on Twitter in August 2023.

Meanwhile, the Dental Hartog organization had a message that read: "We're giving Oscar winner Morgan Freeman's #teeth transformation our own lifetime achievement award! #smile #Oscars."

One social media user wrote, "Your King Charles is Younger [than] Biden, [T]rump and Morgan Freeman…yet we stay with good teeth over here…cry about it!"

3. Gwen Stefani

In addition to Freeman and Cruise, legendary pop star Gwen Stefani proudly rocked her braces at all A-list events years ago and now has straight, perfect teeth.

4. Cristiano Ronaldo

Although some sport a set of veneers, other stars have kept things low-key. World-famous soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has had his teeth polished.

5. Demi Moore

After trying out different options for her natural teeth, the "G.I.Jane" actress reportedly settled for dental veneers for a much brighter smile.

6. Victoria Beckham

Famed fashion designer and former Spice Girl group member Victoria Beckham currently sports a set of polished, pearly whites.

7. David Beckham

Much like his beautiful wife, Victoria, with whom he shares four kids, former soccer star David Beckham also flaunts a set of impressive teeth.

8. Kate Middleton

As for Kate Middleton, she reportedly underwent a procedure called "harmonious asymmetry," natural-looking teeth straightening treatments with subtle whitening.

9. Zac Efron

Meanwhile, former child actor Zac Efron initially had a gap in between his front teeth as a teenager. Now, 35, the movie star has a much more aligned smile.

10. Nicole Kidman

In addition, multi-award-winning Australian actress Nicole Kidman opted for a teeth whitening treatment instead of choosing to go for veneers.

The aforementioned public figures, including the Princess of Wales, have undergone different procedures to fix their once not-so-good-looking teeth.

There are several treatments that could have been optional in transforming their gnashers, such as whitening, realignment, tooth contouring, and bonding.
