The order is said to have come from Simon Cowell and other bosses of the ITV1 talent show.
The final 12 met with a team of cosmetic teeth aestheticians ahead of their live appearances on TV, according to The Mirror.
"Simon wants the acts to look their best once the live stages start. He is convinced they will all look better with perfectly white teeth as part of the makeover," said a source.
Cowell was recently said to be "furious" after the names of the final 12 were leaked online.
