Does Stevie have Dentures?

[AnthonyMI]

Was watching the video of Stevie on Oprah Master Class and something struck me of the X-ray of Stevie's Head. Does she have Upper Dentures? I don't see any teeth up there! Can someone do a side view overlay with this picture to see if here head lines up with this and if here teeth are in this picture? She is for sure missing some teeth though in the lower jaw toward the rear.

I didn't notice anything in that interview.. will have to watch again.

She has had veneers or caps or something; her teeth are all nice and uniform now (and have been for years) and are clearly different from her teeth in the BN and early FM days. Seems new boobs and new teeth were part of her fame upgrades.

I can't remember if they specifically state that it's her xray image used in interview. Could be just a public domain xray image.

It would have been 1985ish when she saw the plastic surgeon. ....so she would have been in her late 30's at that time. I'm thinking she probably still had her natural teeth, but she has said in interviews (during that time) about not having time for a root canal?maybe even oral surgery?. So? ??? Maybe she does?

I've often wondered this myself...
But if you look closely at some photo's, you can see her gums and it looks to me life they are attached...
I'm not sure, I don't have them myself but a few of my Aunts do and when they smile big enough you can tell they're fake.
Idk, maybe it's a new dental thing or maybe she just payed more to hide it better

Hmm.

Being a radiology technologist, I can tell you that's an unusual looking xray. Something is definitely up with the teeth, or lack of. When I get back to work next week I'll show it to a radiologist and get back to you guys.

Ooh, please do! Thanks a bunch, I'm very interested in seeing what is up with this and if she actually does have/ need dentures.

[louielouie2000]

I wonder if veneers could be the culprit? Though I have to say, Stevie's teeth do look very natural. They aren't overly white or too perfectly aligned. In the light you can even kinda see their opaqueness like natural teeth. I doubt that she has dentures or veneers. This was probably a stock xray photo.

are we sure that x-ray is for sure of her teeth? Maybe Oprah just used a random photo to show an example of a x-ray..??

Stock images are often used for shows of that type. No patient confidentiality problems are involved that way. I know that some of the images used on that show were just "prop" images. The X-Ray is probably one of the props. I doubt they took the time and effort to actually acquire one of Stevie's real X-Rays.

I just got 10 upper veneers and now I have a lisp. They affect the way u talk and sing.

And if they asked Stevie's people for her own x-rays, I'd think that would kind of freak her out. That's rather private.

Same thing with the prescription bottles we saw during the show. They were probably stock images too.

Exactly, I agree. I think it's safe today that the show was filmed very quickly; she went in, got dolled up, did her confessions and left by the end of the day. I don't think they would actually take the time to ask her if she happened to have her x-rays with her. And knowing Stevie she keeps EVERYTHING so it would probably take her a while to dig them up... I mean it's not like she has her x-rays framed or anything. I'd be surprised if she still has them.

[cactusjack]

It's not her x-ray - that would be super creepy

[MacMan]

She still has her real teeth... She may have had the odd one capped, but the two front ones are def hers
