[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep noticing something I just can’t wrap my head around. I know multiple people who earn high six figures: doctors, senior executives, people who clearly have the means to take care of themselves. They’re now in their mid to late forties, and their teeth are in noticeably bad shape. Crooked, crowded, shifting, in some cases even missing.

What gets me is that I remember them in their twenties. Back then, sure, they had some slight crookedness, nothing major. The kind of thing that could’ve been fixed easily with braces or Invisalign. Instead, it was ignored for decades, and now everything is much harder to fix.

One person I meet with on Zoom has missing teeth, and it’s distracting every time. I honestly don’t understand how someone can be that successful and not feel self-conscious about it. For me, I’d be embarrassed if my teeth looked like that. It also gives a certain impression, whether fair or not. It makes you wonder about hygiene, self-care, or whether they’re putting effort into their overall appearance.

Meanwhile I’ve done what I can: whitening, Invisalign, good maintenance. Especially now, when most of our interactions are on camera, presentation matters.

Is it denial? Avoidance? Not caring? I’m genuinely curious what’s behind it.[/quote]
