Early 2010 could bring more cosmetic dentistry for Joe McElderry as he gets into shape for his new role as a pop star.
The cosmetic dentistry planned for X Factor winner Joe McElderry did not end with his success in the world’s biggest television talent contest. 
He tells Heat magazine that more work is planned in the months to come, to complete his transformation into a world-class singing superstar.
“I need to bulk up,” he says, “and I’d like to get a brace and get my teeth sorted out.”
Any further cosmetic dentistry work he has carried out could make the headlines after reports early in the 2009 series of the X Factor that all of the finalists had undergone teeth whitening procedures.
Emergency dentistry also kept eventual grand finalist Stacey Solomon in the show after she suffered severe toothache.
The Daily Star reported that, had she been unable to undergo emergency dentistry to numb the pain, she may have been forced to retire from the contest.
However, a source stressed that appearing in the live finals was so important to Stacey that there was “no way” that she would leave the show due to toothache.
