Mike Tindall has revealed he was wearing invisible braces when he married Zara Phillips.
The England and Gloucester rugby player has Invisalign braces which are so discreet that no-one noticed he was wearing them when he married in front of the Queen and other senior members of the Royal family in July.
He is getting the work done by Dr Graham Tinkler, a specialist in the treatment which attaches a brace to the back of the front teeth, slowly moving them one at a time.

Patients can wear the braces permanently for up to 15 months.
Tindall said as a child he had refused conventional braces, a decision which he regrets.
Endorsing the product on the company's website he said, 'Refusing braces to straighten my teeth as a child has been a big regret for me.
'Then as a full time rugby player I knew traditional braces were not an option but Invisalign allows me to carry on playing sport and you won't even see them in my wedding photos.'

The Duchess of Cambridge is believed to have had a similar procedure done by French dentist Didier Fillion before she married Prince William.
Other celebrities including Kelly Brook and Sadie Frost have also had work done by Fillion.
The decision to fix his teeth may come as a surprise because Tindall said that his mother-in-law the Princess Royal asked him to have plastic surgery on his nose.
He told producers at Sky during the filming of a sports quiz that Princess Anne was concerned how it might look in wedding pictures.
Tindall has had corrective surgery on his nose before but it ended in disaster when the two metal plates used to straighten it came out during a rugby game.
