Hi Everyone

Another thing I hear a lot here is how people are embarrased about their teeth. I get it, i really do. Its linked to confidence.

Am i a weirdo to suggest that id be a million times MORE embarrased, to have perfect, gleaming, fixed teeth, than the ones ive got now?

I look like a normal human being thats got slightly less than perfect teeth. Im not embarrased! My self worth as a person isnt defined my my teeth!

Id absolutely hate to have these perfect, pearly unnatural looking teeth that have obviously been worked on, its so much more obvious and attention drawing than having teeth that are a bit wonky. I dont care! I want the wonky teeth!!

Am I weird for this? you can be honest with me im fine with the answer
 
Hi @Stewart, there's a big difference between perfect, gleaming, "fixed" (?) teeth aka "Turkey teeth" and aesthetic restorations. You can find out more here:

 
@Stewart you are normal, different people want different things. Some people love the attention, others fear it. It’s the same idea with teeth, some people love the natural look, others love the perfectly white teeth.
