Don't Laugh at People with Crooked Teeth

I had booked a braces appointment several months ago. The plan was to extract one of my bottom teeth and then use braces to straighten the rest to make a fuller smile. I'm at a point in my life where I can afford braces and it's not a big deal. However, something happened that changed my mind.
I was walking through the gym when I started talking to a younger guy who lost his job. He saw this as a blessing in disguise because it gave him the time and flexibility to work on his business.
As a business owner, I can see when someone has passion for their work. I could tell this young man was passionate about starting and growing his business.
Another subtle thing that I noticed were his teeth. They were far from straight. I knew that he didn't grow up with resources. Rich kids don't have crooked teeth.
I immediately called my orthodontist and canceled my braces appointment. I want to keep these teeth as a reminder because my background, which lacked resources, made me extremely RESOURCEFUL. This is probably true for you; your biggest strength probably comes from something you had to overcome in the past.
There are really 2 lessons here. The first lesson is a business lesson, Try to find a way to have some creative expression in your life. This will help you bring passion to your work. The second lesson is to recognize what you had to overcome in the past, figure out what attributes you had to display to overcome this obstacle, and leverage that strength to become a better version of yourself.
Oh, and also, don't laugh at people with crooked teeth.

As a person with crooked teeth, didn’t have the money to afford as I grow up in a poor family and so I can relate. Flawed but I’m trying to embrace it. Thanks for this Chris

I had ceramic braces and Invisalign. I absolutely love my smile. Hating my smile was part of my depression. I’ve never felt so confident. I paid for my orthodontic treatment both times. Worked over time until I reached that goal. Could never be happier :)

Adults are almost more rude about people's flaws than kids are. I agree stop hating on people's teeth. Dentistry is expensive. I had a rude, abusive dentist as a kid. Plus my Mom died in a car accident on the way to the dentist office. I feel you and your friend on THIS.

Exactly, he'll I had someone ask what the hell happened to my face just recently because my hormones are at of wack and causing acne. It's a 5 plus month wait to get into to the derm. I also don't have the money to get jaw surgery and fix my teeth I know they aren't that bad but I'm so self conscious about that I would be willing to spend millions if I wasn't poor just to look acceptable, but I was raised by a judgmental perfectionist.

Not worth it to pay thousands of dollars for 2 crooked teeth, honestly. Those are the type of teeth that will shift as soon as braces are taken off. It happened to my brother. America has gone crazy with cosmetic orthodontia. The older generation only got braces if it was a medical necessity.

I was the last of 4 children and although my father was a dentist I never had my teeth fixed by an orthodontist. The thing is not everyone is resilient enough to take hardships in life to build strength and improve. Not everyone is capable of that. I got my self braces at 36 years old and I am paying them out of my own money. Not so much for looks but to stop my misalignment from damaging my teeth.

If you have medicaid coverage, many dentists will not participate with it as such insurance plans do not even offer enough reimbursement to cover overhead expenses to break even. Many dentists also refuse private dental insurances for the same reason, not to mention insurance often never fully covers dental care in America. America: We pay the highest prices for the very lowest, worst quality healthcare.

i have a crossbite, some of my teeth are jagged or pushed backwards or there's a big gap where the tooth wore away. a dentist said that nobody can do anything for my teeth. the time to fix my jaw, teeth and palate was when i was a child. i am now an adult. i am in a lot of pain from chronic illness so i have to give my dentist appointments a miss, i can't cope with it

I mean, it's a great message, but I'd still get braces if I was you, it's not just cosmetics, crooked teeth will worsen your dental health when you're older, especially crowding like you have. Certain teeth will wear down unevenly and it's also easier for bacteria to cause cavities there. Just get a few opinions and see if the correction would be fully cosmetic or if you'd also benefit by having a better/optimal bite and healther teeth in the long run=not having to have root canals and dentures in your 50s or 60s.
@Wallace_Fitness_Center
@Wallace_Fitness_Center Год назад
When I talked to my dentist he said it was cosmetic. His words were that I will experience more plaque build up as a result of the crowding but as long as I get regular cleaning then braces are optional.

Agreed. The orthodontist I booked my braces with said it would be out of pocket. Which I could cover no problem. I chose not to. I’ll keep an eye on it and go back in a few years to see if anything has deteriorated. I recently read a book called “Healthy Heart Healthy Brain” and throughout the book they wrote about how periodontal disease may actually contribute to CVE. Interested read. Your overall point is good - oral health IS health.

​@A More Complete Beast As a result of my crowding and crocked teeth, my upper teeth are being slowly shaved by the bottom ones. My bite is now off and side ways and I have know idea if the unalighned bite and jaw is new or old

Straightening teeth isn't just cosmetic though it's better for the health of your teeth long term, how does straightening your teeth take away from knowing where you came from? YOU made the money that you keep mentioning you have and wont be out of pocket (weird flex?) so the corrected teeth would surely be MORE of a reminder of not only where you came from but what you have achieved and how every past moment led up to this point and had to happen in order for you to be where you are now. The way this spiralled was so chaotic XD

Unfortunately CHIP insurance only covers braces with prior authorization. So if your dentist says it’s purely cosmetic (as mine apparently did), the government insurance won’t cover it. Here is what the website states “Does CHIP cover braces? ​CHIP will cover medically necessary orthodontics for dental problems if a child is diagnosed with a significant handicapping malocclusion that interferes with speaking, eating or breathing. Coverage for orthodontics is subject to prior authorization from the child's CHIP health plan and is not for cosmetic purposes.​​“ We all have ways to feel good about our appearance, this is how I feel good about mine.
