One Direction singer Niall Horan has updated fans on his dental condition, revealing that he is due to have his braces removed in six months.

The Irishman has been sporting the white dental fixture for some months now as he looks to correct the structure of his teeth.

Taking to Twitter last night (August 14), Horan revealed that they will only be on for another six months, with treatment going well. He said:

"Been to dentist today ! got them tightened up and stuff! he tells me i will be gettin braces off in 6 months...teeth moving fast ! sick."

Horan meanwhile has been back in his hometown of Mullingar recently celebrating local boxer John Joe Nevin's bantamweight silver medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Photos were posted on Twitter of the singer enjoying the celebrations with friends.
