One woman has opted for cosmetic dentistry is now sure she will be happy with her appearance on her wedding day.
Elaine Hutcheson told the Sun of her decision to have plastic surgery on her nose in addition to “smile reconstruction” procedures.
She explained that, contrary to her now-fiance’s protestations, she decided to have the work done to her face and teeth.
Ms Hutcheson said she did not like to smile before she had the treatment, but now she will surely be showing off her pearly whites at the ceremony.
Commenting on her decision, she said: “Some people might think it’s over the top.
“But now I have no reservations about how I look.”
Ms Hutcheson was one of the 46 per cent of people in the UK who are unhappy with their teeth.
This is according to an Align Technology survey, which also showed that 32 per cent of people are most likely to notice a potential partner’s smile first.
