However, due to the nature of filming on The Voice, Molly was shown on-screen both with and without braces.

She had them put on midway through the series – which must have been around December.

Not that it affected her blistering singing voice, where Molly won the final while wearing braces.

There is no confirmed reason as to why Molly wears braces.

The only logical reasoning is related to her teeth.

Either way, it doesn’t affect her infectious smile or a stunning singing voice and is only going to enhance her image in the future, which may have been one of the reasons she had them fitted.
