Hilary Duff had her teeth shortened

Everyone’s been making fun of Hilary Duff’s too-long veneers since she got them installed last year, and Gallery of the Absurd even did a an hilarious illustration of her as a horse. (Thanks Farkers for correctly my crap grammar.) Now Life and Style cites a cosmetic dentist who claims that she had her teeth shortened recently:

“The length of each veneer was a little too long, and the width of the smile was too wide,” Dr. Michael Apa, dentist to the stars and Elite Model Management consultant, says of Hil’s smile, which cost the star at least $15,000.

The work was meant to improve her smile, but “it made her look goofy, like she was bucktoothed,” Apa says.

That was until Nov. 5, when the star flashed a more familiar smile, which made her look as if she’d had a visit from the tooth fairy!

“She probably had her teeth recontoured or reshaped to fit her smile,” says Apa of Hil’s smaller, narrower smile. “Now you look at her cute smile rather than focusing on her large teeth. She looks much prettier!”

Good for Hilary. She looks a lot younger with the smaller teeth and darker hair, but that could also be due to the cute cap she’s wearing.

Thanks to Faded Youth for the story.
