    It’s hilarious too that they probably spent millions on him and 9/10 Americans couldn’t tell you who he is

    Veneers are probably the ugliest thing rich people do. I can understand if someone has really jacked up teeth, but most don’t that have them. Im a fan of natural looking teeth.

      Omg never do I get so many downvotes as when I point out how unnatural a white wall of american teeth look.

      To me it’s like neck rings or cranial deformation. Intellectually I understand it’s a cultural practice that must display worth to those within the culture or they wouldn’t do it. But that’s not the effect it has on me.

      I have a prosthetic that replaces nine teeth and a significant portion of gum tissue lost due to a surgery, and I had to fight tooth (heh) and nail to get my dentist to make one where the teeth weren’t perfect. He wanted to add a veneer to one of my remaining teeth so I would have that chiclet smile. No, thank you.
