THE WHOLE TOOTH!

BRACE FOR IT! THESE CELEBS WEREN’T BORN WITH THOSE MILLION-DOLLAR SMILES — THEY HAD TO PERFECT THEIR PEARLY WHITES.

WILLOW SMITH

Just 11 when she first got braces, the fashion-forward 21-year-old matched her elastics to her outfits! “I can never tell what I’m gonna wear. I kind of just put on whatever feels right,” she’s said. “Sometimes that’s Converse and a T-shirt, sometimes it’s Givenchy heels and leather pants.”

CINDY CROWFORD

Growing up in DeKalb, Ill., the 56-year-old needed braces to fix an overbite and crooked teeth. But her most memorable metal smile came when she donned braces for a 1990s Pepsi ad (below) in which two awkward teens meeting for a first date suddenly transform into a dreamy guy and the supermodel, who still has a sparkling mouthful of wire!

KENDALL JENNER

So nice she did it twice! The reality star, 26, first got “train track” orthodontia when she was 13. Then at 17, the then-fledgling model opted for Invisalign to perfect her smile. “I absolutely think it will help her modeling career,” her dentist, Dr. Kevin Sands, said at the time. “Maybe she will even be offered a milliondollar Colgate campaign!” (She wasn’t, but she did land a gig promoting a tooth-whitening pen.)

GWEN STEFANI

The No Doubt singer was happy to rock the hardware in 1999 — after she’d achieved fame! “The braces were like me coming home and being like, ‘You see this money I got?’” the 52-year-old said of her pricey orthodontia.

TOM CRUISE

That megawatt grin had some help. In 2001, shortly after his split from Nicole Kidman, the Top Gun: Maverick star got braces to correct his shifting chompers. (Remember his “middle tooth”?) Not that the 60-yearold is all that vain — in 1983, the young Tom voluntarily removed a cap, exposing a chipped front tooth, to play Steve Randle in The Outsiders!

ANGELINA JOLIE

Metal mouth! The 47-year-old, known for her puffy pout, had her teeth straightened as a teen, but the world-famous beauty still doesn’t think much of her looks. “I don’t see myself as beautiful,” the actress has said. “Because I can see a lot of flaws.” Mind telling us where?
