Ronaldinho Spends £36,000 On Surgery To Correct His Dentition [Photos]

L-R: After the Procedure, Before the Procedure

Legendary Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho said goodbye to his trademark buck-toothed smile sometime last month, as he underwent surgery to correct his dentition. 

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.

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.
