Andy Murray nets himself shiny new gnashers after shelling out thousands to fix crooked teeth
The 31-year-old took the opportunity to have them fixed while out injured
SIR Andy Murray has netted himself a perfect set — of shiny new gnashers.
The tennis champion, 31, is believed to have shelled out thousands of pounds on treatments in the past year to fix his crooked teeth.
And he showcased the startling results with a huge grin at Sunday’s London Marathon, where he’d been lined up as official starter during his recovery from a hip operation.
One source tonight said: “Andy was always quite conscious of his teeth. He had a slight gap-tooth and others were quite spiked. The more tournaments he won, the more he had to smile for pictures.
“He didn’t like the way he looked, so he decided to finally get the treatment done. As he was out injured he thought it was the perfect opportunity.”
Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy, from Dunblane in Perthshire, now has great chompers to match Strictly star mum Judy, 59 — who it’s said he turned to for tips before going ahead with any procedures.
The source added: “Andy inherits his teeth from Judy but she had them fixed a few years back.
“He spoke to her about getting his done and she offered him some advice.
“He’s happy with the end result and his wife Kim loves them.”
The former world No1 dazzled as he was snapped at the marathon with EastEnders star Jake Wood, 46, who plays Max Branning in the BBC soap.
Andy — famous for his teeth-bearing “Murray Roar” — wept as he revealed plans to retire after the Australian Open due to his injury.
But following his heroic five-set loss to Spanish star Roberto Bautista Agut in the first round he left the door open to return to the court.
He has revealed surgery on his crocked hip has left him pain-free for the first time in years — sparking hope of a Centre Court comeback at Wimbledon.

“I’m a long way from testing it running round a court.
“I don’t feel any pressure to play. But if my body is good, I’ll give it a go.”
