    Why are Americans so obessed with having straight teeth? Do they not have anything better to spend their money on?

    Dental health and hygeine is like any other kind of health and hygeine. Crooked teeth can be uncomfortable, cause misalignment of the jaw, impair speech, and interfere with food consumption. Straightening them and correcting over/underbites is simply another healthcare issue. That straight teeth are more appealing is simply a nice extra. As for those "pearly whites"...if your teeth are "pearly white" it shows that you take personal cleanliness seriously and that you are less likely to have health problems associated with gum desease and rotting teeth. besides, which would YOU rather kiss, a nice, tidy, clean mouth or one with receding gums, bad breath, and dingy yellow teeth?
