How stars make teeth: all the ways and methods, medical advice, reviews

In this article we will look at how star teeth are made.

There is probably not a single person who would not dream of a snow-white smile, like that of show business stars. But their secret lies not only in excellent genetics, but also in constant high-quality oral care, as well as in the use of modern methods of dental restoration. After all, medicine today has made great progress, especially the dental field. And if financially possible, anyone can afford a snow-white smile. Let's try to understand the question of how stars' teeth are made.

Professional whitening

Tooth enamel begins to darken due to poor quality and irregular oral care. Fans of black tea and coffee, as well as those who indulge in smoking cigarettes, suffer from teeth darkening first of all. Periodontal or gum diseases and the use of certain medications also affect changes in the color of the enamel and the quality of your smile.

How do stars make white teeth? Today there are several types of professional cleaning and whitening, as well as different types of prosthetics and implantation that do not harm the teeth.

Let's find out in more detail what kind of teeth make show business stars.

Vanessa Paradis

Like Paquin, French actress Vanessa Paradis doesn't feel the need to imitate her showbiz peers when it comes to appearance. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, the actress said: "Why should I fix my teeth? I've had them like this since birth. They will still be useful to me!” Her unusual feature was not passed on to her common daughter with Johnny Depp, Lily-Rose Depp: the aspiring actress and model can boast of a perfect smile.

Vanessa Paradis is not shy about her smile

Laser whitening

If your teeth are straight and without visible defects, then laser whitening is most often used. This is a fairly gentle method; with its help, the enamel is lightened by 8-10 tones. During the process, a special composition with hydrogen peroxide is applied to the top layer of teeth and chemical processes are activated by a laser beam. The radiation only affects the enamel, which completely eliminates burns to the mucous membrane. The laser reaches the deep layers of dentin in seconds, without drying out the enamel. This procedure does not increase tooth sensitivity. One session is enough to achieve the desired result. The process is painless and lasts no more than half an hour. The laser also has antibacterial properties. The result lasts 5-7 years. If you have no contraindications to the procedure and you are ready to follow all the doctor’s recommendations, then this type of teeth whitening will not cause harm to your teeth, but, on the contrary, will help strengthen the enamel. Like any medical procedure, laser whitening has contraindications:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• age up to 16 years;
• allergic reactions to active ingredients;
• presence of caries;
• transparent teeth;
• non-carious damage to tooth enamel.

How else do stars make their teeth?

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus The sexiest girl on the planet, according to Maxim magazine, Miley Cyrus , if she had not corrected her bite and corrected the shape of her upper incisors and fangs, she would have been good at playing vampire roles. However, it must be said that the star, who has no complexes about her appearance, was not shy about appearing in public with fashionable braces. And once she delighted her fans by posting a photo on Instagram with false teeth.

Fluoride bleaching

Fluoride bleaching, also called lamp bleaching, is performed by exposure to halogen radiation. A mixture of hydrogen peroxide is first applied to the surface of the teeth, and then exposed to light. During the chemical reaction, active oxygen is released, which lightens the pigmentation of the deep layers of dentin. The duration of the procedure is up to 1.5 hours, it is carried out by the attending physician in three stages. This type of whitening lasts for two years. After the procedure, tooth sensitivity may increase.

Contraindications to the procedure may include:

• age up to 20 years;
• increased sensitivity;
• presence of caries;
• allergies to the reagents used;
• increased abrasion of enamel.

The secret to creating a Hollywood smile

An important role is played by the nationality, gender and social status of the patient, what type - open or closed - his smile is, it is also important to understand whether the treatment will be limited only to the teeth or whether soft tissues will also have to be corrected. If you follow anthropological principles, women's teeth should have rounded edges, men's teeth should be square and large. If the patient prioritizes career development, you can enlarge his fangs - the larger they are, the more serious the person looks. As for color, the dentist has a special Vita scale, which the patient uses when choosing a tooth shade. Typically, doctors do not recommend making your smile too white, but rather try to choose a color that will look natural.

Design programs help the patient choose a suitable smile option. With their help, a future model of teeth is created, which is “put on” a photograph of a person. If the result is satisfactory, the doctor can begin work.

Ultrasound method

How stars make their snow-white teeth is of interest to many. Another method is ultrasonic. Ultrasonic whitening is recommended for those who have increased tooth sensitivity. During the procedure, soft and hard deposits are removed, and tooth enamel is not damaged. To carry out the procedure, a special device is used - a scaler. Under the influence of the drug, active oxygen is released and plaque on tooth enamel is destroyed. The patient does not feel pain, the session lasts one hour. At the end of the procedure, the enamel is polished with a special paste and fluoridated. This procedure requires repetition.

Contraindications are:

• presence of systemic chronic diseases;
• bridges and implants;
• childhood;
• diseases of tuberculosis, hepatitis, AIDS;
• first trimester of pregnancy.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham in childhood In Victoria's childhood photographs, both a decent gap between her upper teeth and the different sizes of the teeth themselves are clearly visible. Unlike Vanessa Paradis , who made the gap her “trick,” Beckham, who strives for absolute perfection, has been visiting the dentist once a month since she was a teenager and practically never removed her braces.

Victoria Beckham She got rid of her gap during the period when the Spice Girls appeared. And by the time she turned into Mrs. Beckham, the “peppercorn” had changed the color and shape of her teeth. According to rumors, whitening and veneers were not enough: crowns were used, and the whole pleasure cost approximately 40 thousand British pounds.

Whitening with Air-Flow system

You can check with your doctor about how star teeth are made.

To get a snow-white smile, the same as that of celebrities, you can use another method - sandblasting whitening with the Air-Flow system, which is gentle on the teeth. Cleaning is carried out with a special device, removing pigments, plaque and tartar. The procedure lasts about an hour. A special mixture containing sodium bicarbonate is applied to the enamel; under the influence of the drug, the enamel surface is thoroughly cleaned. After this procedure, fluoridation is done. Possible contraindications:

• asthma;
• salt-free diet;
• allergy to flavorings that are part of the mixture.

What kind of smile can be called a Hollywood smile?

Initially, the owners of the Hollywood smile were people whose upper and lower teeth are exposed when laughing, while the corners of the mouth remain at the level of the line where the teeth meet. This is exactly how Marilyn Monroe smiled. Today, the secret of the Hollywood smile lies in the generally accepted standard - the so-called “straight” smile, when the four front teeth are level with each other. The teeth should be large and white. However, each nation has its own standard of beauty, determined by various factors, including physiological characteristics. For example, the Slavs have a Scandinavian semicircular type of smile, in which the first incisors are literally a couple of millimeters lower than the second. Among Eastern people, small teeth are considered beautiful, and it is even better if most of them are gold. In China, people like to decorate their smile with iron crowns. In Russia, the concept of “Hollywood smile” does not include any special standards, but simply means straight and white teeth.

Whitening with Zoom system

Zoom whitening effectively lightens enamel in one session. A special gel, which does not contain acid, is applied to the surface of the tooth enamel, then exposed to an ultraviolet lamp. As a result of the reaction, oxygen molecules are released, which affect the deep layers of the tooth and eliminate even persistent darkening. And since the gel contains amorphous calcium phosphate, it fills enamel microcracks well and protects teeth. Bleaching leads to a color change of 6-8 tones. The results last for approximately five years.

Contraindications may include:

• age under 18 years;
• pregnancy, lactation period;
• oncology;
• hyperesthesia;
• various periodontal or gum diseases;
• caries.

Many people are afraid of dentists and often do not pay due attention to their teeth. How important is oral health and what problems may arise for those who do not visit the dentist regularly?

— Indeed, we encounter patients who are terrified of dentists. But there are fewer and fewer of them. Most likely, because pain management technologies, including anesthesia, are widely used in treatment.

The oral cavity is the first stage of the digestive system. Poor chewing of food can lead to gastritis and other gastrointestinal disorders.

Teeth are part of the body, and they can be sources of infections and cause exacerbation of ENT diseases: tonsillitis, sinusitis. And this is not a complete list.

You should definitely visit the dentist once every six months to avoid problems affecting your entire body. Due to untreated teeth, antibodies may begin to be produced in the tissues of the oral cavity. The process can spread to the heart, kidneys and other organs.

If patients do not contact the dentist on time, the matter may end up in contact with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. I think not everyone would want this for themselves. Prevention is always faster, cheaper and more reliable.

How to properly care for your oral cavity and brush your teeth? How often should you use a toothbrush and can you chew gum?

— You need to brush your teeth at least in the morning and evening. Fortunately, there are a lot of hygiene products - these include various toothbrushes, and special brushes and irrigators. The main thing is to choose the right toothpaste and follow the brushing technique. Patients are often mistaken: to whiten their teeth, they use the appropriate toothpastes. This is not entirely correct. They should not be used constantly.

In general, oral hygiene should begin from infancy, from the moment when the child’s baby teeth appear. For this purpose, there are special finger brushes so that the baby can remove plaque.

Dental floss is a must. Let’s say a person brushes his teeth correctly and removes plaque. But it remains between the teeth. A thread will come to the rescue. You can also use mouth rinses.

It is imperative to pay attention to the oral cavity at least two to three times a day. As for chewing gum, you can use it after meals and chew for no more than 10 minutes if you cannot brush your teeth.

Today, a snow-white smile is in fashion. What is whitening and what is the basis of whitening systems?

— There are several types of whitening: lamp and laser. Everything here is based on hydrogen peroxide and urea. A whitening gel is applied to the surface of the tooth. It is activated using a lamp or laser. The gel decomposes into atomic hydrogen and oxygen, which brings the pigment to the surface of the tooth.

There is no need to be afraid of whitening if you do it with healthy teeth and do not overuse the number of procedures. Before this you need to undergo an examination. The doctor will examine the oral cavity and send you for a CT scan to exclude hidden carious cavities. If they are, treatment will be required. And only after that you can start bleaching. The procedure has been used for a long time both in our clinic and in general. And the results are quite good. If everything is done correctly by both the doctor and the patient, no problems arise.

We do not whiten enamel, but dentin. Accordingly, the gel should penetrate as deeply as possible. This is facilitated by a lamp or laser, so that the process occurs on the deeper layers of the tooth. In general, bleaching is a chemical reaction with different activation methods.

How long does the result last? What can and cannot be eaten?

— Like any aesthetic procedure, whitening requires maintenance. If this is a laser procedure, it is repeated after two years. If lamp - in a year.

After whitening with a doctor, the patient should begin home procedures two weeks later and do them for 10 days. And repeat in six months. What we do in the office is one-time, and the process needs to be stabilized. This is why home treatments are needed. If you follow everything, the results usually last for five to seven years. Once every six months the patient needs to go for a cleaning procedure.

After bleaching, the so-called white diet is prescribed. The most critical are the first two days.

What is home whitening based on?

- Using hydrogen peroxide or urea. There are cases that do not respond well to in-office bleaching. For example, the patient came from an area with high fluoride levels. Or my parents gave me tetracycline as a child. It stains your teeth heavily, and you can’t do without home whitening.

The process of changing the color of teeth is long, at home it can take up to five years with a certain frequency. It comes in two types: either strips or special mouth guards.

The advantages of mouth guards are that they are individual - they cover the entire tooth and do not touch the gums. The strips are usually the same size, so some area of ​​the tooth may not be covered. They may get a little on the gum.

Home whitening proceeds gradually and stabilizes the result. It uses less peroxide.

Let's talk a little about tooth sensitivity. Why does it occur and how to deal with it?

— First you need to understand the reasons. These can be hidden caries, cervical cavities, and various defects. It is necessary to exclude any diseases. Afterwards remotherapy is carried out, the use of whitening toothpastes and the consumption of sour juices is prohibited.

Special toothpastes help with sensitivity. There are potassium-containing drugs that reduce the conductivity of nerve impulses. There are those that have a remo effect - they close the dentinal tubules. They are effective. But when the patient uses them, there should be no plaque on the teeth. Sometimes people don't pay attention to this. But it will not be possible to treat such teeth with a special paste - the gel will not reach the enamel.

There are contraindications. Specialist consultation is required.

Prosthetics with veneers

Whitening methods are good when your teeth are straight and without damage. But what to do if there are dental defects? To correct all kinds of defects, veneers are installed - these are thin porcelain plates that are attached to the surface of the teeth. To make them, microprostheses are made using casts of the jaw. They turn out to be very thin, 0.3-0.5 mm, so their installation does not require much grinding of the enamel surface, as, for example, for a crown. They are made from ceramics or composite materials.

There are medical indications for their installation:

• interdental gaps;
• slight curvature;
• chips, cracks of the crown;
• yellow enamel;
• rapid abrasion of enamel;
• short crowns of the anterior incisors.

Thanks to veneers, teeth become perfect and snow-white. These veneers are often used on one or two teeth. They last for about five years.

Installed veneers will make your smile perfectly white. Microprostheses do not lose color over time. If you take proper care of them, they will last you a very long time. The disadvantages of the procedure are the poor strength of composite materials, the need to grind down your teeth, and the high price.

But this procedure also has contraindications:

• significant damage to the crown;
• inflammation of the gums around the teeth;
• caries;
• straight bite;
• bruxism.

Foreign

• Brigitte Bardot. The world-famous beauty, whom millions of men prayed for, had not previously been distinguished by her attractive appearance. As a child, Bridget had strabismus, which she was able to cure. But the incorrect bite and, as a result, a slightly protruding lower lip remained with the actress forever. However, the skillful Bridget was able to turn her disadvantage into her main advantage, arousing admiration from society.

At one of the interviews, Kirsten said that her mother repeatedly tried to tidy up her smile, but Kirsten did not follow the dentist’s recommendations and simply threw away the plates, which she does not regret at all today.

Lumineers

How do stars get beautiful teeth using lumineers? The most innovative technology, which is often used by celebrities, today is lumineers prosthetics. Essentially, these are the same veneers, but much thinner. Therefore, their installation does not require significant grinding of the supporting teeth; doctors remove only the top film of enamel. Lumineers take a very long time to make, and they cost an order of magnitude higher than regular veneers. They can be removed at any time without damaging your teeth. The limitation is the mottled enamel due to the fact that the denture is transparent. The cost is high due to their production. Lumineers are made only in the USA, because a patented manufacturer of microprostheses is located there.

Caring for such microprostheses is no different from regular oral hygiene. But doctors recommend avoiding nuts and seeds.

This is how stars make their teeth perfect.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise as a child Tom Cruise had a complex for a long time not only because of his short stature, but also because of his terrible teeth. At the beginning of his career, directors and agents repeatedly hinted to the actor that as long as he did not spend money on a dentist and orthodontist, he could not dream of big roles. By the age of 16, the future star had a bunch of fillings, and one of his front teeth darkened after the nerve was removed. Tom was unable to cope with his growth, but after several years of torment he got rid of the second complex.

Tom Cruise He did everything: whitened, wore braces of different designs for years, put in veneers... According to rumors, just whitening and correcting the bite to a relatively decent look cost him more than 30 thousand dollars. Only at the age of 40 did Cruise achieve what he wanted - he finally removed the hated braces and, as they gossip in Hollywood, put an implant in the place of the ill-fated dark tooth, and super-expensive crowns on the aligned rest.

Reviews from patients and specialists

Specialists and patients remain quite satisfied after whitening procedures. It is best to do such procedures, of course, in specialized dental offices, so as not to damage tooth enamel.

And to have a smile like a Hollywood star, it is best to install veneers and lumineers. There are a large number of patient reviews about the effectiveness and painlessness of the procedure. They also note that it is best to install lumineers, as they are durable and more aesthetically pleasing. The disadvantage of microprostheses is the high price.

So, in this article we looked at what kind of teeth stars make for themselves.

Matthew Lewis

Matthew Lewis Matthew Lewis began acting in the Harry Potter saga with crooked yellow teeth of different sizes, they did not bother him - until the moment, as in the case of Tom Cruise, until it became clear that he would not be offered any other roles. In Hollywood, where the cult of snow-white ideal smiles reigns, such a “legacy” is difficult. We had to whiten it, put veneers, etc. - all this cost several tens of thousands of dollars, but as a result we have another white-toothed darling.
