Duff's new teeth

kenzie · Chanel

Why?? Her teeth and smile were fine the way they were. Now she looks like she has horse teeth! Why do pretty girls in Hollywood do this to themselves?

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

They are too big for her mouth!

Luv2Shop · Kate Spade

she's totally Linddsay Lohan-ing her face too. It's like all hollowed out and pale and then she wears dark smugged eye make up and looks like a skeleton.

a skeleton with really overly-sized white teeth.

Veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth so to make a cosmetic improvement in their appearance. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to idealize teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.

You know, all these hollywood types must go to the EXACT same dentist because I don't understand how all their smiles end up exactly the same.

I have porcelain veneers (necessary - I broke out my front teeth when I was younger) and my smile and teeth still look unique to me. I don't have the horse teeth that everyone else seems to get. I wonder how many teeth they get veneers on? All of them? Maybe that's why.

Bizarre. I don't understand why people want a horse mouth. A nice smile is great and all but why the obsession? (Of course I could direct that at almost any beauty topic in Hollywood...)

Eww. I like Hilary, but she looked great before. This is not a good look for her. Can you get veneers removed?

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

ryanj, how are they bonded? w/ glue? yech, that'd feel so weird.

anyway, in the pic above hilary looks a little bit vampire-ish to me, poor thing. maybe she could have them removed?

They glue them directly on your teeth and most of the time they are permanent. If your teeth are not broken and you just wanted veneers to make you teeth look better (veneers do not stain like real teeth) the dentist will grind down some of your teeth, so if they were able to take them off you would be a snaggle tooth.

When I was in high school I got kicked in the face playing soccer. My front two teeth were busted, so I had veneers put on. They don’t look fake (I don’t think), but they are really white. I frequently have to get my teeth whiten, so I don’t have these crazy bright white front teeth. It sucks because even if my other teeth don’t look yellow, they do compared to the veneers.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

ryanj good grief, that had to hurt--sorry about that! but thanks for the info about veneers, i'd always wondered.

Lilykind · Hermes

She's looking more and more like her older sister each day. That is not a good thing...I swear that her nose is getting bigger...her smile gets more sinister with those veneers...it thins out so she loses any cuteness that she had before...ugh!

That is so funny - not that you had to have them, that is an awful story, but that definition - my first thought is gee, she knows a lot about veneers or is an english teacher - that is a very exact Webster-esque definition!!

On topic, she does look like she has horse teeth. It drives me NUTS that perfectly cute / pretty people go to extraordinary lengths to "improve" their looks & end up looking like a great big fake. Can't anyone just stay normal??? PLEASE?
