Scientists have discovered that Miss Anna Dalegre, a famous French socialite in the seventeenth century, wore gold wire in her mouth because of the condition of her teeth.
CBS News says that this woman has gold wire in her mouth, not just to flirt, but to keep her teeth from falling out because she suffers from gingivitis because the wire pulls out some teeth and stops them from falling out. Also, one of his teeth was artificial and made of ivory, which was rare at the time because most dentures were made of hippopotamus bones.

Miss Anna Dallegre’s teeth
In the opinion of modern scientists, this amazing dental surgery only made Anna’s problems worse. Because the gold wires continue to pull out their teeth over the years, and this causes significant damage to the neighboring teeth.
Of course, this woman suffers not only from physical pain, but also from spiritual pain. Because aristocratic women were under great pressure to protect their appearance. Miss Dallegree already had a negative reputation, having been widowed twice. This woman died in 1619 at the age of 54. Her remains were found in 1988 during excavations at the Laval Palace in northwestern France.
