Is Kate Middleton's smile real?

London, Jan 13 (ANI): It has been reported that Kate Middleton might have had a little extra help from a dentist to make her smile more dazzling.

Middleton, 28, had visited the consulting rooms of French-born orthodontist Dr Didier Fillion on London's Wimpole Street for a teeth-whitening makeover, it has emerged.

She first visited Fillion a year ago, and had an initial 100-pound consultation, for the noticeable gap between her two front teeth, which Fillion closed with his self-developed technology. Not just that, Middleton underwent a teeth- whitening session too, it seems.

Fillion, who has also straightened the teeth of Sadie Frost and Kelly Brook, is reluctant to discuss his soon-to-be-royal client, but happily talked about his pioneering treatment.

"The new digital technique I have developed is more precise and, depending on what needs to be done, can cut the treatment by three or four months," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

The treatment costs between 6,000 pounds and 9,000 pounds for braces on upper and lower teeth, or between 3,000 pounds and 6,000 pounds for upper only.

The treatment seems to have been perfectly timed for the announcement of her engagement. (ANI)
