Perfect smile: 5 Ukrainian stars who have worn or still wear braces

It used to be that only teenagers wore braces, but now it's not the case. Even popular stars turn to professionals to get the perfect smile.

In addition, this pleasure is not cheap, and if you decide to correct your smile and visit the dentist, it means one thing: you care about your health and appearance. And OBOZ.UA has prepared examples for you among Ukrainian stars who have made efforts to have a perfect smile.

Oleksiy Potapenko (Potap)

Music producer and performer Potap decided to get braces only at the age of 39, in 2021. According to the artist himself, he had a crooked tooth that made him embarrassed to smile.

Currently, the musician is still wearing braces, but you can only notice this in the videos he posts on Instagram because the star is not smiling in the photos, perhaps hiding the braces.

Olena Topolya (former pseudonym Alyosha)

In one of her interviews, Olena Topolya shared that she had been wearing braces for over a year but admits that it was very difficult for her. However, it was worth it: now the singer has a perfect smile.

When Olena was wearing the braces, she shared photos of herself on social media and encouraged her fans not to be afraid to improve themselves at any age.

"Never be ashamed of your shortcomings or doubt yourself. And to the question, 'What's wrong with your teeth?' I answer with a smile, 'Braces'. It's never too late to improve yourself," the singer wrote under one of her Instagram photos.

Volodymyr Ostapchuk

Ukrainian presenter Volodymyr Ostapchuk has been wearing transparent braces for over two years. He got them at the age of 35 because after a dental checkup, he was diagnosed with an overbite. Even though it was unnoticeable, his lower jaw was gradually receding, and by the age of 50-60, the changes could be irreversible.

"Don't be afraid to change and take care of your health. We only have ourselves," Volodymyr commented on one of his photos with braces on Instagram.

Andre Tan

Ukrainian designer Andre Tan has been searching for his perfect smile for a long time. Andre shared that when he was a kid, people in the yard called him "Hollywood smile" because he was always a cheerful boy. But his teeth did not look perfect: the future designer had an overbite. He had to install not only braces but also veneers. However, for more than 5 years, Andre Tan has been smiling sincerely with his perfect smile.

"I've been in braces for a year! At first, it seems impossible, but I want to tell all people: get braces and solve your dental problems as early as possible," Andre Tan shared his thoughts in an interview.

Anton Velboi (Wellboy)

Ukrainian singer Wellboy also shared a new photo of himself in braces. The performer posted a photo on Instagram in support of the LGBTQ+ community, which clearly shows the "upgrade" of his appearance in the form of braces. So now we're waiting for a photo of the singer with a perfect smile.
