People who have never been happy with their teeth are getting the chance to transform them thanks to invisible braces.

Emma Hill of the Telegraph said brands such as Invisalign are so discreet that adults are flocking to have them fitted instead of putting up with wonky smiles.

She revealed that a well-known newscaster is currently wearing invisible braces to read the news without anyone noticing, but declined to mention who.

One patient who had them fitted, Gemma Haupt, told the newspaper even her friends and family were unaware until they were inches from her face.

“I didn’t tell my parents for a month and they didn’t notice,” she said.

Ms Hill pointed out that people who opt for invisible braces will probably experience less pain than would be the case with traditional “train tracks” because they move the teeth more precisely.

Earlier this month, writer Kevin Tetter of Helium said he found his braces to be brilliant and wondered why he waited so long to have the cosmetic dentistry.
