I wish I could recall specifics, but I heard or read somewhere that this is a cultural thing. There seems to be some connection with the Shinto/Buddhist thing to do with one’s soul, and teeth are somehow connected. To alter your teeth does some kind of weird spiritual harm. I wish I could provide facts and sources, but I can’t. It just so happened that this subject came up in conversation tonight and I was hunting through Google to see if I could make some connection. I hope I can track the answer down. I could be way off the beam, here, but I think I might be at least partially correct.
