Check 'em out!
1 of 8
Gwen Stefani (1999)
Age at the Time: 30
Why: They were a gift to herself! “I always told myself when I got rich, that’s the first thing I’d do,” she told 'Harper's Bazaar.' Still fierce in our book!

Khloé Kardashian (2013)
Age at the Time: 28
Why: Her dentist, Kevin B. Sands, revealed the Kardashian simply wanted an even prettier smile! “She happens to have one of the most beautiful smiles I’ve ever seen,” Dr. Sands told 'Radar' about her Invisalign choice. “But she’s a perfectionist and so am I, so it was just something we knew we could do. We’ll take her from a 9.5 to a 12! Her teeth are just slightly crooked and rotated, most people wouldn’t notice, that’s how minor it is.”

Faith Hill (2012)
Age at the Time: 45
Why: The country star wore her clear braces with pride as she attended events in 2012 and 2013. Why did she get them so late in life? Turns out it was her second time around! "I forgot to wear my retainer," she confessed, adding, "Kids, wear your retainer."

Chris Kirkpatrick (Late '90s)
Age at the Time: Late '20s
Why: Dude probably just decided to get 'em to fix his teeth…right before his band 'N Sync blew up. Talk about bad timing! But we'd hate to remember Chris any other way <3.

Tom Cruise (2002)
Age at the Time: 39
Why: The 'Mission Impossible' star decided to straighten out his situation in the early '00s — and he certainly wasn't embarrassed about it!

Faye Dunaway (2002)
Age at the Time: 61
Why: Legendary star Faye decided to tune up her teeth — and Tom inspired her! "You just sort of let your teeth go for a while. But it's time to have something done. Tom Cruise has them now so I'm right in style," she said at the time.

Nicolas Cage (2003)
Age at the Time: 39
Why: Looks like someone didn't like his bottom teeth! The Cage realigned those pups with some metal braces.

Katy Perry
OK, soooo she only rocked these for her 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' music video in 2010, but doesn't homegirl make 'em look seriously stylish?
