    A lot of people are, but most peoples teeth aren't perfect.
    Teeth stain quite easily from stuff like coffee and I think it's quite unusual to be born with completely straight teeth but people still obssess over this american or not.

      Braces exsist for this very reason. Heck in wearing a permanent retainer glued to my bottom 6 teeth. Just so they dont shift to cover a missing baby molar that I lacked the adult replacement for.

        I have a few crooked teeth, was never offered braces though up until pretty recently when a dentist told me it could be a good idea. Not sure if its worth it though

          Depends if your employer is a stickler on teeth. Having massively messed up teeth is a turn off for some employers because lack of care for teeth is a sign that you dont care about your own health, thus your job performance would be lack luster.

          A few crooked teeth however should be fine.

              It's more for middle to higher paying jobs. Low class jobs dont care as long as you do your work.
