- Tom Cruise is one of many stars who had crooked teeth back in the day.
- Fellow actor Morgan Freeman also had misaligned teeth.
- These actors are part of the list of showbiz stars who have had dramatic teeth transformations over the years.
Having a perfect smile in show business seems to be important for some Hollywood stars. Many have had their teeth done to achieve that bright white smile that they usually flash when attending high-profile events.
Renowned actors such as Tom Cruise and Morgan Free are some of those A-list stars who have had a dramatic transformation when it comes to their teeth.
Notably, the list of celebrities who have ditched their crooked and discolored teeth for veneers and pearly whites is very long and includes stars such as Gwen Stefani and Nicole Kidman, among others. Here are 10 of them:
1. Tom Cruise
In his younger years in the '80s, Cruise was starring in the movie, "The Outsiders," when he was pictured posing on set with his one tooth sticking out. Cruise was only twenty years old when he began his acting career. At the time, his teeth were not only discolored but misaligned.
The "Mission Impossible" star resorted to teeth whitening to deal with the discoloration and underwent alignment procedures for his not-so-straight gnashers.

At age 39, Cruise eventually decided to get braces. By June 2012, the movie action star's teeth seemed to be straightened out as he attended the "Rock Of Ages" premiere in Hollywood, California.
Moreover, Cruise's teeth have been a topic of discussion as of late. Twitter users have shared their thoughts on the platform while comparing his old photos to recent ones.
In August 2023, one person tweeted, "One of Tom Cruise's front teeth is exactly in the middle of his face." Someone else penned, "Ever since someone told me about Tom Cruise's teeth being off center, I can't help but focus on it when he smiles."
Meanwhile, another individual from Twitter expressed, "I can't unsee that, just like how I can't unsee Tom Cruise's crooked mouth/teeth situation."
2. Morgan Freeman
Like Cruise, Morgan Freeman also had crooked teeth once, and fans have talked about his teeth on social media. "Never thought I'd see Morgan Freeman with new teeth… but here we are," penned one person on Twitter in August 2023.

3. Gwen Stefani
In addition to Freeman and Cruise, legendary pop star Gwen Stefani proudly rocked her braces at all A-list events years ago and now has straight, perfect teeth.
