Jen 'hates her teeth'

Pictures of Friends star Jennifer Aniston smiling out from magazine covers make her wince - because she does not like the look of her teeth.

And she is far from alone. A survey in Britain found that more than half of those questioned (55%) confessed to feeling uncomfortable when giving a broad smile or self conscious when photographed.

The NOP poll of 1,000 adults, commissioned by Invisalign, a firm which makes teeth braces, showed that 88% believed that a nice smile helps to get a date and 77% that it helps get a job.

Even so, nearly half felt that they would not contemplate wearing traditional metal braces to correct their teeth.
