How were Freddie Mercury’s Teeth in Real?
It is known that the singer had some extra teeth, four, to be exact. Those teeth pushed the front teeth forward and thus he looked the way he was. His unique looks also come due to those teeth he possessed.

But the question arises why such a reputed and famous singer didn’t fix his teeth. Well, if you have been following his songs, they are pretty high-pitched. His four-octave range was also a primary reason he got worshipped. Some people have opined that Freddie thought his pitch went that range due to his teeth.

The biopic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ also supported this theory as Freddie said and we quote,
“I was born with four additional incisors. More space in my mouth means more range.”
So, we can guess at this point he cared more about his voice than his looks. However, Peter Freestone cleared that the singer was also self-conscious about his teeth and used to cover the most of the time.
Did his teeth help him in singing?
Besides, other people also showed respect to conserve his vocal range despite his appearance. Ultimate classic rock presented different opinions of people about how the tongue, soft palate, and positions of teeth affect the singing pattern and their pronunciation. Some even assumed that Freddie might have a higher range if he had straightened his teeth.

Leave that as it may, Freddie not leaving his unique teeth was a good point after all. He got recognized so well by the teeth only, even the star Rami Malek used the set of fake teeth to copy the look. With large overbite teeth, the audience became more related and connected to the film, “Bohemian Rhapsody“.
Sex Pistols and Bill Grundy
Another interesting fact about Freddie’s teeth is how they affected the band Sex Pistols. Freddie surprised the fan when in the span of 15 years, he went to see a dentist. So, Queen was replaced by Sex Pistols.

We love smiles and have mentioned the reasons behind such teeth as heredity. However, singer Mercury never aligned his teeth but tried to distract the audience from it with his mustache by growing it.
Did Freddie Align his Teeth?
Was the Queen’s singing only because of his misaligned teeth? Or he would be a great singer despite his range? After the study, it is found that those teeth and his soft palate really helped him to sing. But all the credit can’t go to them.
