Evan Hill, a young man from New Zealand, used to be considered “the man with the biggest teeth in the world. His front incisors were so huge that he couldn’t close his mouth completely and could hardly speak. However, modern medicine has worked wonders, and now he looks completely different.

Evan was born in Christchurch. By 2012, the whole world knew about the 12-year-old child with huge teeth. It is noteworthy that the boy was born quite normal and no different from other children. However, in the process of growing up, his front incisors acquired simply phenomenal size.

Experienced dentist Rob Slayler, who examined the boy, said that these teeth – the most unusual that he had encountered in his entire 25-year career. Normally, the upper jaw is tilted 2 degrees, but Evan’s was 12 degrees. His jaws did not clamp shut tightly either, as the gap between the upper and lower teeth was 2 cm.

The doctors took a long time to find a solution. There were a lot of complications, including a lot of financial ones. This boy had a special case, requiring a cost of about $12,000.

The Hill couple didn’t have that kind of money. To make matters worse, the family’s car, which was desperately needed for regular trips to the dentist, recently broke down. Evan’s mother Barbara was worried about her son, because his teeth brought not only physical, but also moral pain – because of this feature, he was embarrassed his peers.

The Hills mortgaged the house and turned to television for help. Evan was invited to a TV show, after which he became famous overnight. People from all over the world responded to the request to help. In the end, they raised over $100,000. This was enough to cure Evan and buy a car.

Treatment lasted 5 years, including wearing braces. Now the boy is 21 years old. He has a beautiful smile, for which he never tires of thanking everyone who responded and helped.
