Anne d'Alegre's teeth 'shows that she went through a lot of stress,' the researcher said, adding she hopes that the research 'goes a little way towards rehabilitating her.'
"Beyond the only therapeutic care and far from the only coquetry, this study shows also the importance of the appearance for aristocratic women submitted to strong social constraints ," the study's authors wrote.
She also had an artificial tooth made of ivory from an elephant — not hippopotamus, which was popular at the time. The gold wires would have needed repeated tightening over the years, further destabilizing the neighboring teeth, the researchers said. Ambroise Pare, a contemporary of d'Alegre's who was the doctor for several French kings and designed similar dental prosthetics, claimed that"if a patient is toothless, his speech becomes depraved," Colleter told AFP.
