Why do some rich people have terrible crooked teeth?

Like Jewel, right??

I recently saw her in an interview & her teeth are still as crooked as they were back in the 90’s when she first hit the music scene.

In her defense though - I feel her crooked teeth look good on her + add to her unique appearance.

I was born in a third world country, there weren't that many orthodontists there and dental treatments were done for a fortune or by untrained quacks so it wasn't common unless for people with money or just one or two children. Most families had 4-8 kids which made it more unaffordable. Also it was pre internet era so not much emphasis or awareness.

*also it often meant getting all wisdom teeth and one or two other illplaced teeth extracted which scared most away.

In my 20’s my husband happily paid for braces. It was painful. But when those braces were taken off, I felt renewed and didn’t have to cover my mouth when I laughed anymore. I was more confident too.
In my sixties my bottom teeth had shifted because I never got a retainer. Sooo…I got Invisilign! It only took 6 months to straighten. I’m so happy with my straight teeth. It makes a difference big time. Who cares who sees the braces. It’s your mouth and your life. Go for it. You won’t regret it.

Why respond to such an old thread for this?
