Hey!

>That goes a long way towards explaining why we have the stereotype of the British with their crooked crazy teeth!

Hehehehe we have the opposite stereotype, that American's have unnaturally white teeth that look false!! Although obviously its a stereotype, no offence meant....

Well its also probably due to the fact that we're not used to paying for healthcare here in the UK, so people are rather relucant to shell out for their teeth, and noone really has dental insurance, again we're not at all used to having insurance for dental or health things. Plus we can get teeth things done on the NHS very cheaply, and obviously NHS dentists won't do cosmetic things. But then, I got train tracks on my teeth upper and lower, when I was a teenager, completely free on the NHS and the whole thing lasted for four years. And that was purely cosmetic. So I have nice straight teeth!

But yeah, the trend is moving towards American style of teeth now, particulary along young people.
