News: I Want a Famous Smile

In today’s star-obsessed society, it seems that people will go to almost any length to look like their favorite celebrity. The latest way to imitate the stars? Celebrity snap-on teeth. They’re like dentures, except that you can model your pearly whites after those of Gwyneth Paltrow (”square and sexy”) or Halle Berry (”sophisticated.”) Yes, the idea’s a little creepy, but snap-on teeth are a lot less drastic than the plastic surgery people undergo on MTV’s reality show, “I Want A Famous Face,” right? Two Manhattan-based cosmetic dentists are offering the celebrity teeth: Dr. Jeff Golub-Evans’ “Red Carpet Smile” starts at $1,500 and Dr. Marc Liechtung’s “Snap On Smile” starts at $1,275. Apparently, the “Red Carpet Smile” is available only as an upper arch, and can only chew through soft foods, while the “Snap-On Smile” is available as both an upper and lower arch, and can chew through the toughest foods. The teeth are molded to fit over your existing teeth, and can be snapped on and off as many times as you wish. Check out the Snap-On Smile for more info and before-and-after pictures.
