Liz Jones, a writer for the Daily Mail, has expressed regret over spending nearly £7,000 on dental work in Turkey. The author, who cites Keira Knightley's 'slightly higgledy-piggledy teeth' as an inspiration, underwent the transformation in Istanbul.

Jones stated that after years of dealing with dental issues including numerous fillings, cracked veneers, and receding gums, she opted for the extensive procedure. The cost, excluding flights and accommodation, amounted to £7,000. This decision places her among the approximately 200,000 Britons who travel to Turkey annually for dental treatments.

Despite achieving what is described as perfect pearly whites, Jones now views her decision as a "terrible mistake" at her age. The article draws parallels with the appearance of characters in films, such as Vanessa Redgrave's character in 'Atonement,' noting how natural imperfections, like slightly irregular teeth, can contribute to a person's character and appearance. In contrast, the piece mentions Kris Jenner's altered appearance, suggesting a loss of identity.

Vanessa Redgrave's character in Atonement, Briony, comes of age during the war, before the birth of the NHS. She endured rationing and is now elderly, dying of vascular dementia. But never mind all that – look at her teeth! They could blind a man at 50 paces,' writes Liz Jones
