History of Britney Spears’ teeth
The Oops!...I Did It Again star gained notoriety in the late 90s due to her singing prowess, blonde hair and flawless smile.
Throughout Britney’s career, her pearly white teeth have been movie-star quality. However, if you look closely at Britney Spears’ teeth then and now, you will notice a big difference in her smile.
Why did Britney Spears' teeth change?
In her recent Instagram posts, Spears’ watchful fans have noticed a gap between her front teeth. The revelation has sparked rumours and speculations, and many are curious as to why the alteration became perceptible only now.
So, what is wrong with Britney Spears’ teeth? According to Dent X International, the pop singer has always had a diastema, a natural gap between two teeth. For years, Britney had concealed the tooth gap thanks to a cosmetic procedure known as dental bonding.
Per the Cleveland Clinic, this reversible procedure fixes minor imperfections, such as closing gaps or changing a tooth’s shape and colour. However, Spears allegedly decided not to have this procedure done on her teeth.

Renowned dentist Dr. Kevin Sands, who has worked with many celebrities, features an old photo of him and Britney on his website with a side blurb about dental bonding. With this, it is safe to assume that Spears' once-perfect smile was due to this dental procedure.
How does Britney Spears feel about her teeth?
Since childhood, the songwriter has always had self-esteem issues due to her dental formula and forehead. According to Spears, she was once rejected by a modelling agency because she did not meet their standards.
I had bad teeth and felt like an ugly duckling. I met with a modelling agency but was not pretty enough, so I went home.
Today, however, Britney appears to be more confident about her teeth. Her reluctance to get her teeth fixed shows that she has worked through her dental struggles and is ready to show the world that she, just like any human, has imperfections.
Why is Britney Spears so famous?
Jean debuted in 1992 and has since won a Grammy Award, 6 MTV Video Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards and 15 Guinness world records.
