I don't understand why they say that, if you watch American shows like gerry springer etc most of the guests on there have rotten teeth

British according to stats have the most skew teeth adn the narrowest jaws. Thus most ppl mention this fact. Not all brits of course, but the brits have the higest percentage according to surveys.

i think its just because theyre MORE obsessed with having perfect teeth than the brits are lol. And Im sure theres plenty of americans with teeth that are less than hollywood sparkly.

Some Americans believe the UK to be unchanged since the last time they visited - and if that happens to be during WW2 their opinions are a bit out of date! Others judge us by what they see on tv, which is precious little, and usually bad!

I think that came from the stupid Austin Powers movie. James Bond never had bad teeth.

properly, you will possibly choose for braces. I had braces for 3 years simply by fact I had a a hundred% overbite. eek! once I smiled, showing my enamel, my backside enamel weren't seen in any respect. So, braces fastened that. additionally, the way your enamel turn, you will possibly choose for braces for that besides. besides the undeniable fact that, my older sister has a enamel that purely slightly turns outward and the dentist suggested that she'll be high quality and her enamel are relatively healthful. So, i might say bypass on your dentist and notice what he/she says. in the experience that your overbite is like how mine replaced into then you definately will def. choose for braces or in the experience that your enamel turn inward too lots you will choose for braces. Your dentist knows maximum suitable!
