Do only Americans take care of bad teeth?

    My permanent teeth came in misaligned so my parent had them fixed. My wife and my daughters have had or will have braces. We have it done both for health and appearance. I've noticed a lot non-North Americans with misaligned teeth that they apparently aren't taking care of.

    Here's one example of a Brazillian/Spanish multi-millionaire that hasn't taken care of his teeth.

    Is it only North Americans that get their teeth straightened?

    First guy probably looks like the King of Siam when he pops that fine bridge work in.

    Dogs like that will have orthodontics within the next 20 years. :D

    Little Ronaldo puts some effort into fixing his hair (well it's not in an au natural state) why not fix his teeth?

    Average people in developed countries are not too poor for orthodontics and Lil' Ronaldo can afford it.

    Mister Ed is one of the few stars that could claim his bucked teeth were part of his brand. Of course he could eat corn on the cob through a fence but it fit the brand of a talking horse.

    Of course the rest of the world looks after their teeth!

    Mind you, with all those huge cokes and ice cream portions - the Americans need it the most!

    Definitely, IMO it's a really stupid question to be asked at first place...

    It's not free, it's much more expensive by way of taxes.

    The fact that the US doesn't serve warm Coke in a four ounce glass and I am not sure about what you are talking about on large ice cream portion (maybe you are confused with Italy) has no affect on crooked teeth.

    I was looking at nikefootball.com and Ronaldinho teeth amaze me. I find them somewhat disturbing to look at. He could tuck them in a good inch and have them a little bit still bucked to maintain the brand. How bad should teeeth get before you take care of them?

    On alignment? No.

    On gum and tooth condition? Only if you don't floss, brush, and rinse or if you have a calcium free diet and never see the dentist.
