Say cheese: Ben buys veneers online — and gets exactly what he paid £42 for

A STUDENT’S search for the perfect smile backfired hilariously after he bought veneers online.

Ben Watson spent £42 on a set of veneers from an online firm, even sending off a mould of his teeth.

But the 19-year-old burst into tears of laughter when he received an expensive set of comedy gnashers.

Ben, from Halifax, west Yorkshire, then took the brave decision to share his dental disaster with the world, posing for a video and numerous photographs of his veneers.

Pal Mollie Cooper uploaded a clip of Ben struggling to keep the teeth in place which has been viewed more than 20,000 times.

He has even become a minor celebrity in his home town and gets stopped by people wanting to take snaps with his new teeth in.

Speaking this week, Ben said: “They were advertised as the ‘perfect smile’. They took an impression of my teeth and I sent it back.

“£42 later they sent me the teeth. My partner called me saying they had come.

“I told him to open the package and see what they’re like and he just burst into hysterics and told me to wait and see them when I get back.”

“Even when I've been going out in Halifax people have been stopping me asking for photographs of my teeth.

“They have now become more of a comedy effect and everyone in my local town of Halifax now knows me for the teeth.”
