More Celebs to compare me to!

Whilst reading the Mail online, I flicked through the celeb bit, as you do, not because you really want to know, but it is always fun to see what everyone is doing.

I spotted Faith Hill at the Grammys, with some lovely close ups of her ceramic brace.  Now it did take me a while to remember who she was, but I eventually realised she is an American singer, the only song I can recall is 'This Kiss', just for those other people struggling to place her!

I was quite surprised to see her with braces, as I am with any famous person.  However it makes sense, when you make your money from singing, focus is on your mouth, and a perfect set of gnashers is quite pleasing on the eye.  I read on the Internet that she has had them on for about 8 months and she had to have them because she didn't wear her retainer when younger. 

I seem to remember my orthodontist saying that I would have to have a removable brace after this fixed one is taken off, although I'm not entirely sure what that will involve and how long that will be for.  So that is on my list of questions for my next visit.

Seeing her with braces has again made me realise that it is quite common, and in general people who want to improve their smile, do so, they don't get any backlash, they just get on with it.  I have begun to realise that the benefits will always outweigh any 'bad press' I receive.  It also hits a note with me that with all the expensive procedures people can get for straightening teeth, celebs still choose to have fixed braces, that has made me curious why.  The only reason I can come up with is that it is the most affective way of straightening teeth.
