A member asked:
I was wondering is it important to have straight teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Straight teeth work better, undergo less wear and tear, are easier to clean, last longer, are less involved with gum disease. We know from many psychologic studies that attractive people receive better treatment than unattractive people. Two absolutely equally qualified people go in for a job. One has a smashing smile, the other has snaggle-teeth. Which one gets the job?
