In Japan I found out that they don't have the standards we do for teeth. At first I thought it was totally rediculous, on the cover of a magazine is a beautiful japanese supermodel but when she smiles her teeth are all crooked. In America we care so much about it that we cement metal machines in our mouths to make sure they are perfectly straight, and go for porcelin veners and bleeching and it's pretty crazy. I was raised in America so of course I am attracted to nice teeth, but I'm not sure why really. I brush my teeth of course I want them clean, you don't want an infection or rotten tooth. That hurts and it smells bad. I understand brushing but where did this other standard come about straightness and whiteness?
