More than enough women think he's just perfect the way he is, but Tom Cruise thinks he could use a little straightening up. The Vanilla Sky star decided to get braces after a visit with his children to their orthodontist.

The doctor told Tom he had an overbite and braces could correct it. So, bye-bye big bite and hello braces! The Hollywood hottie opted for the clear style and says he'll have them removed for movies. Maybe Tom's new gear explains why he demanded all of the exercise equipment be moved to his suite recently at the Four Seasons in Hong Kong.

The Beverly Hills Orthodontist has a list of celebrity patients and says, "It would be a great improvement to a great face," about Tom. Seems he knows just what to say to the right ears...and wallets...
