Everyone who's anyone seems to know that the ultimate red carpet accessory is a decent set of pearly whites.

Yup, unless you're in possession of a ridiculously smile, your career can really – or so says Hollywood, anyway.

And it is quite amazing how a new set of chompers can totally transform a person's face. Even established names – Tom Cruise, we're looking at you – have opted for major dental work (in his case, back in 2002) to alter a less-than megawatt bite. 

Join us while we drool and contemplate getting the braces back on with the most impressive of celebrity teeth transformations.

 

1) Miley Cyrus

You can’t make lewd gestures with your tongue if you ain’t got the perfect set of teeth.

 

2) Tom Cruise 

Mmm, a buck tooth. What every girl dreams of from a Hollywood heart throb.

 

3) Niall Horan 

A case of right place, right time brought Niall into 1D, and thousands bought him that smile.

 

4) Gwen Stefani 

Gwen is fashion royalty, her braces were arguably not.

 

5) Zac Efron 

We can’t even #toocute

 

6) Cher Lloyd 

Questionable brows distracted from Cher’s perfectly acceptable teeth when she first appeared on X Factor, but this whole transformation is pretty impressive #thepowerofmoney

 

7) Cheyl Fernandez-Versini 

Cheryl was always beautiful, but those pearly whites took her dimpled smile to a new level.

 

8) Victoria Beckham

Posh is human perfection, good teeth or bad. We all know that. 

 

9) Tulisa 

Got teeth done, got voted FHM’s sexiest woman. Go figure.

 

10) Mathew Lewis 

This overall transformation from Neville Longbottom to absolute ride is pretty astonishing but those teeth sure do help. Yum!
