Boyband member Niall Horan has millions of teenage fans all over the world who probably already think he is perfect, but that hasn’t stopped the Irish heartthrob from trying to improve his teeth using orthodontic treatment. The eighteen-year-old, who sings with X-Factor stars One Direction, had braces fitted last year to straighten his teeth, but wasn’t too happy at the time because it meant he couldn’t enjoy his Christmas dinner as much and he had to stay away from sweets too – even missing out on One Direction’s back stage treats because of his new dental appliance. ‘I’ve just had a brace on this week’, he told The Sun newspaper back in December ‘so I won’t be eating sweets.’ He also added ‘It’s a bit sore so I can only eat soup.’
Eight months on and Niall has tweeted followers to let them know that his braces should be coming off soon, saying ‘Been to dentist today ! got them tightened up and stuff! He tells me i will be getting braces off in 6 months…teeth moving fast ! Sick.’
However, some fans were less delighted, complaining that braces were one of the things people loved about Niall’s look, telling him he shouldn’t change anything about himself; one follower tweeted in desperation ‘Nooooo @NiallOfficial keep your braces on forever everyone loves them.’ Another was in agreement, saying ‘@NiallOfficial is so adorbs with his braces.’
