It would never have been used in a
toothpaste commercial, but everyone’s
favourite buck-toothed Brazilian,
Ronaldinho, arguably had one of the most
famous smiles in world football.
However, that trademark grin looks to have
been consigned to the past after the former
World Cup winner decided to finally
address his challenging dental situation.
The 33-year-old, who currently plies his
Samba skills for Atletico Mineiro, can be
seen having his teeth corrected at an
orthodontic clinic in Brazil.
Before and after: The transformation post-
procedure is likely to be the best £36,000
Ronaldinho has ever spent.

operation in Brazil
It was reported last month that the World
Cup winner had undergone surgery on his
teeth, but video and pictures of the
procedure have been published today.
If the glamorous presenter is to be
believed the procedure will set the party-
loving Brazilian back to the tune of around
£36,000 – a small fortune but a sum which
one of the world’s previously highest
earning players can no doubt afford.
There are rumours that Ronaldinho once
had a clause written into his contract that
prevented him from altering his
‘asymmetrical’ smile, although what he
could endorse by flashing more gum than
teeth isn’t immediately obvious.
The treatment certainly makes a difference,
especially when presented with the classic
before and after photographs – which is
akin to watching the transformation from a
scurvy ridden sailor to a smile that
wouldn’t look out of place in Hollywood.
Aww! Even as a small child Ronaldinho’s
teeth were his most memorable feature

Right, next stop Playboy: The Brazilian’s
procedure preceded an interview with the
Brazilian magazine
Not so surprsingly, the timing of the
procedure coincided with an interview for
Brazilian Playboy where the former
Barcelona superstar announced he has a
new girlfriend and was not averse to sex
before games.
During my time at Barcelona I often
practiced sex before games and it was not
just not a problem but a benefit, as it made
my happier before I played on the field.
I’m now in love. I have girlfriend and I now
have a much quieter life. In the past I was
often unfaithful, but I have no intention of
making the same mistake now. My first time
I had sex was at age 13 with a neighbor,
we were friends, and it was beautiful for
both.
New girlfriend, new teeth… Now, if he
could just do something about that soul-
glowed ponytail.
End of an era: Now that the bucked
toothed wonder is no more, let’s take a
moment to remember him as he was
