i know there is a chiche of english people with bad teeth, but i really think americans have an odd attitude about people's teeth. i completely understand why you need braces if your teeth look crooked, but nearly EVERYONE gets them over there!
my teeth are naturally quite straight, and i dont have any snarly teeth, my cousin in america had teeth just like mine, but she got braces and now they look super human. why bother, they were perfectly good before!
i recently whitened mine and now theyre the same colour as my 5 year old sisters. i think they look good, maybe even a bit too white, but when i went over there evry1s teeth looked so white they were glowing blue. the adults teeth were WAY whiter than childrens milk teeth.
americans, is this a fair comment?
people from other countries, do you see what i meen?!

As an American I agree with you. As a matter of fact, I've spent 20,000 dollars on my teeth this past year. I do not know about other countries, but I think Americans are brutally judgemental when it comes to the appearance of others teeth. I had work done on my teeth b/c I know how important "perfect" teeth are in this country. Now, I regret all of it.

Are you basing this opinion on the fake americans? A fake american is what hollywood makes everyone think a person should look like.
Nobody has prefectly white teeth without "help". The majority of the population doesn't have perfect teeth.

Your cousin wouldn't have had braces put on unless she needed them. Most people do not realize that braces aren't intended to fix the appearance of teeth as much as they are intended to improve the function of your teeth and jaw so that you are biting correctly. There was probably something wrong with her bite and she had it corrected.

because people want to feel comfortable ....maybe your being to easy on yourself....lmfao just because your teeth might not look bad doesn't mean they line up correctly there is more then 1 reason to get braces...it lines your teeth up properly and can even change someones jaw placement ....so its not just for looks...you probably need braces to.

Yes, it is kind of unique, but I wouldn't say it's weird. Just kind of an obsession?

Not a fair statement, I think that "it is just you".
