Veneers? Kim Kardashian reveals all about her teeth
Kim Kardashian has just debunked a myth around her smile. After many media and fans swore that her teeth were not real, the 39-year-old socialite decided to end them once and for all during a visit to her dentist, after suffering a mishap with one of the accessories she uses for a mouth healthy.
The famous she shared a series of videos from the office, taking advantage of the stage of confusion that is experienced worldwide. "Look who stayed open for me," she told her while she waited for the specialist. One of the revelations that Kim surprised us with is that she wears retainers, which are usually transparent and worn after orthodontic treatment, to keep her teeth aligned and in good condition. They are also ideal to avoid any damage if the patient grinds them. The famous she admitted to wearing them at night, however, everything seems to indicate that she suffered a small accident while she was sleeping. "Fun fact: I wear a retainer, haha. At night, this one came off," she confessed humorously.
Kim also denied that she used veneers, which are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of the tooth to improve the appearance of the tooth. The socialite assured that her perfect smile is thanks to the care she has every day, something that she wants to keep for a long time to come. "Do I have veneers or are they real?" She asked her dentist, Kevin Sands, to which the expert replied "They are real. Very real." "A lot of people think I have veneers, but no. Not yet," she finished as she smiled to show off her white teeth.
Many photos of Kim's adolescence point to the famous wearing braces to align her teeth. This treatment was key for her to achieve a perfect smile, something that she boasted from the beginning of her career, without presenting a great modification since then, which could reaffirm the theory that she exposed, being free of veneers. However, this treatment is one of the most used by professionals, who create a bigger and whiter smile with these sheets, without damaging the structure or health of the tooth.
The secret behind a perfect smile
Kevin, who has become Kim's (and all-star) favorite dentist, confessed that the best secret to healthy white teeth is brushing them after every meal, and flossing. Professionals also recommend cleaning every 6 months, in order to avoid bacterial plaque or cavities, something that usually seriously damages oral health.
"To achieve a Hollywood smile, to be honest, is to put porcelain veneers. Flossing every day, and keeping your mouth healthy and free of tartar can also help. Another good idea is to do whitening (with an expert), and cleaning regularly, "he confessed to LifeandStyle Magazine.
Other reports suggest that both Kim and her husband, Kanye West, use an electric toothbrush, another essential for a white smile, as it can be adapted according to the needs of each person. This instrument has several powers, and can be personalized with the cell phone via Bluetooth to guarantee the brightness of the teeth.
