Call it “judgment” all you want. Someone who doesn’t fix their teeth has mess-up priorities. First impressions are important. Everyone knows that. If you don’t fix your teeth, you turn everyone else off. I would never hire or date a person with messed-up teeth. I’m not “judging” them. I simply don’t want to look at their gross teeth.

In reply to JonInVa.

People are shallow and judgmental. This is not news to any of us. Vanity is here to stay.

My teeth are straight, they have always been straight, but I have a crossbite. A nice dentist talked me out of braces when I was 20 years old. What we didn’t know is that the crossbite would lead to bruxism, TMJ and trigeminal neuralgia…my crossbite has caused me a lifetime of pain and agony. Too bad that my straight teeth and slight crossbite weren’t treated then.

In reply to Burt. Think again. Here in WA. State dental care was cut off to welfare recipients, unless pregnant, & the DISABLED due to budget cuts. There are no free clinics, just reduced price & most are HORRIBLE. WA. State did manage to spend $2.85 BILLION on entitlements for ILLEGAL immigrants though.

In reply to nlee.

nlee,

First of all, C Morrison said nothing about straight teeth, C.M. said “perfect teeth”.

And in any case, having perfect or straighter teeth does make someone look healthier when all else is equal and in more than 72% of the time means they are healthier. New England Journal of Medicine.

You can do everything right and still be riddled with cancer which means NOT HEALTHY. So your lifestyle only gives you an increased odds at being healthy, but does not guarantee it as you try to pass off.

Doy! You smile at somebody with obviously bad or crooked teeth and anyone would be initially turned off. If you get a chance ot know them, you’ll forget about it at that level. Same with fat people, ugly people, or any other moniker you could apply to somebody. This “study” is about as usefull as one testing whether “skinny” people are more attractive than blatantly “obese” people – in first impressions.

Why not have a survey about personality? Have the same tooth-challenged (I like it!) people talk about themselves for a bit and show them only from the nose up. Then have respondents judge attractiveness. the show them only the teeth of people. Then match them up with how they judged the personality and nose/eyes versus just the teeth with no voice.

That’s a real test of shallowness.

In reply to C Morrison. you think straight teeth make you look healthier?That was definitely an ignorant comment. What makes one healthy is their lifestyle, not their teeth being straight. I find it absolutely amazing the absolute wrong things which come out of people's mouth. What makes you healthy is what you eat, if you exercise, etc. I am a vegan and I do yoga 4x a week, tested every 6 months to make sure I am in good health. I have some teeth which are not perfectly straight. SO as most eat their McDonald's or cheetos with their straight perfect teeth as yourself, your teeth wont save you from diabetes or cancer.

In reply to Sherri. How funny. My teeth are perfectly aligned but that's just how they came I never had any work done on them. Don't assume good teeth means the person is vane. Maybe they are just lucky.
