The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards shared on Instagram today that she has a brand new smile. Kyle had her teeth “done” and shared a picture of her “new” smile.
I never realized how tight-lipped Kyle’s smiles were until today when I went looking for photos of her “pre-work” smile. I had to dig through pages of agency photos to find any of Kyle showing her teeth. I think she looked fantastic before, but if this new smile makes her happy, good for her. 😉
Kyle shared with her followers a close up photo and wrote, “Post Reunion smile ? That’s a first. I told you guys on my story last week that I would post a picture after I was finished with my “new” smile. A lot of you have asked me questions about it so here are some answers.”
She explains that there wasn’t anything “wrong” with her teeth, she just wasn’t happy with them so she consulted with a specialist and couldn’t be happier with the results. “My teeth were fine. They were just small and didn’t really show when I smiled. Plus they started crowding. Invisalign wasn’t working for me because I wouldn’t wear them 22 hours a day and were uncomfortable. I had never wanted to have my teeth done because I was under the impression you had to “shave “ your teeth way down. After meeting with @doctorapa I found out that wasn’t the case. That’s when I decided to go for it. I’m sharing with all of you because a lot of you have told me you had the same issue and I think you would have noticed anyway since I never smiled showing my teeth. I’m really happy that my smile now matches my mood #doctorapa #rhobh.”
She’s not kidding. I scoured through 15+ pages of recent Getty pics and these were the only “before” photos I could find of a toothy grin. The rest were all closed mouth smiles, except when someone made her laugh (usually Mauricio).
I think any kind of physical “tweak” is a very personal decision, but I’m relieved she didn’t make the mistake of getting the veneers you see so often on celebrities that are just way too big for their mouth. I think Kyle looks happy – as evidenced by her beaming smile down below.
