What's the because Japanese-is-superior-explanation for this?
>>
>>288821753
Dentistry isn't really a thing that happens in Japan.
>>
Open any Japanese mouth and those tooths are all scrambled, they simply don't care.
>>
>>288821753
It's 2D, retard.
>>
I remember 20 years ago when I used braces, it would hurt, it would be a pain, but even so there was something oddly comforting about it, it's weird to explain but the way it used to pressure the teeth also felt nice.
>>
>>288821753
That would drastically increase the line count for a character.

Their teeth are fucked up not because they don't have dentistristy, but because of their diets full of soft food like rice.
My parents come from some backwater in Somalia where dental care wasn't great yet they both have great sets of white teeth that look like they came out of a Colgate ad. It always confused me until I realized the meat they have over there is tough as fuck and they eat throughout their lives.

Caring about teeth is a western concept, and a pretty recent on top of that.

There was a dentistry episode of Sailor Moon and lots of anime characters do brush their teeth, I guess maybe they don't care about orthodontic stuff so much but they probably care about hygiene/cavities

Because 2D is superior

Cosmetic dentistry isn't a big priority there, even a lot of celebrities have crooked teeth. It's just not seen as a big deal, or even cute.
That said, in burgerland where braces are common most kids get them in elementary school as soon as their grown-up teeth come in, I don't remember many kids in my high school still having them.

The Japs just don't care, that's the long and short of it.

It's not necessarily that they don't care. Some care and want to have crooked, fang-like teeth so much they go to see a dentist to get them. It's supposed to be cute and youthful.

You're all wrong, faggots. The Japanese have horrible teeth because the fluoride content in their toothpaste is pretty low.
They only recently (in 2017) changed the recommended fluoride concentration in toothpaste from 1000 ppm to 1500 ppm.
https://www.hozon.or.jp/member/statement/file/method_20230101_en.pdf
This is why even people in developing countries have better teeth than they do.

>>288822060
Japanese people think having ugly teeth is cute.

There are some teeth formations that are kind of cute true, but just utterly butter yellow teeth are horrendous, and it’s crazy how prominent it is in Japan, especially with girls, idk why they have the yellowing more than men

this has literally nothing to do with braces because crooked teeth aren't caused by decay

you know most African blacks have larger mouths than East Asians, right? But people generally have the same number of teeth.
if your teeth don’t crowd, they usually come in straight. If they do crowd, chewing cape buffalo sinew isn’t going to magically make them straight.

Braces and correcting bite isn't "cosmetic", that shit can really hurt a person chiefly from their airway being reduced or causing great pain due to incorrect bite with TMJ.
Nips really need to get their shit together.

That would address tooth decay, but not crooked teeth.
That is more of a genetic and dietary issue.

Is this what third worlders think they are?
>>
>>288821852
African villagers have better teeth because their diets contain less processed sugars. It's actually been observed in realtime how quickly the dental health of such demographics decline once foreign trade is established at scale.
>>
>>288823211
He writes the exact same way you do lol

>>288823176
Holy moly they are the master race. But no there were studies done comparing diets of refined (softer) food vs. more traditional (tougher) food, and the tension from chewing more spreads out, and would keep teeth straighter.

So you're saying if I eat a bucket of nails every day for breakfast, I'll have stronger teeth?
>>
>>288821753
all the "cute" sharp teeth you sometimes see on anime girls are actually meant to represent deformed snaggleteeth
>>
>>288821753
Because braces are disgusting and anime girls are pure, free from the evils of 3DPD.
>>
>>288821753
I'm pretty sure that is the contrary in Japan, people pay to get their teeth fucked.
>>
>>288823755
That's quasi-true, in that you can create something which fulfills SOME of the functionality of foreskin, it'll just never be a real foreskin.
>>
>>288823741
Your teeth can do minor repairs, typically small cavities, just not major repairs, like deep cavities and worn down enamel
>>
>>288821753
Because North America (Canada and US) is obsessed with fake uncanny teeth

>>288823792
It will help be protective and retain some moisture, since the tip gets covered by skin again, but it really won't produce the same sensations at all (and it looks pretty terrible).

It's very much a cope, which works a little bit. I feel bad for them.

I got braces, for a large chunk of people it is what they are. They take them off of you and then tell you to wear a retainer the rest of your life to keep them in place. Top listed reason to continue my orthodontist work in adulthood by my orthodontist: self-esteem. I've seen kids with braces on their baby teeth. I'm not saying it's completely bunk and has no function, but it's an American cosmetic thing and the orthodontic industry is built around solving a manufactured issue.

The number one causes of bad teeth are Sugars and Corn/Maize. Americans have a ton of teeth problems because corn and sugar are the basis of the entire American diet. The only reason Americans don't have a stereotype of having bad teeth like the British do is because America has been the world leader in dental care for like a century. Americans get an astronomical amount of dental work done on them throughout their lives.
