This puppy with braces will make you smile pretty.

Wesley is an adorable pup with terribly crooked teeth. So crooked, in fact, they didn't permit him to close his mouth all the way.

To help Wesley with his problem, a doggy orthodontist in Michigan fitted him for his own pair of shiny braces.

"Orthodontia in pets is normally not for aesthetic purposes, but because of health concerns," Harborfront Hospital for Animals, who is treating Wesley, wrote on its Facebook page.

Unlike your average teen, lucky Wesley will only have to wear his braces for a short period of time.

"The good news is, the correction [Wesley] needed will be brief, perhaps only a few weeks," the post says. "Also, it obviously doesn't bother him one little bit...He's a happy little guy."
