I believe most Americans trace their ancestry back to England. Which could explain why orthodontist and inhome teeth straightening businesses are common.

They have normal teeth. I recently saw a graduation picture of a family member and his mother. He had normal teeth and hers were so blindingly white. He is 18 and healthy too. I guess he needs to bleach his choppers to look “normal”.

They don't have normal teeth. But overall, their teeth are better than what they were decades ago. My parents moved from a third-world country to England and they were shocked by how nasty peoples' teeth were.

Actually, statistically the British have better teeth (and more of them!) on average than Americans. The NHS has done wonders who dental hygiene since World War II. The British teeth stereotype is three quarters of a century out of date.

^ on that note. what exactly is wrong with straightening and whitening your teeth and thus having some damn pride in your smile if you can afford it? (Not talking abt those ridiculous looking veneers). I have never understood this argument (brits are literally the only ppl in the entire world in my experience who say this). It’s like looking down on people who have a robust skincare / exercise / grooming routine.

It has nothing to do with healthy teeth if you file your teeth down to a stump and glue "toilet-white" crowns onto them. Example: Hunter Biden. I still have to see a rich Englishman who beats that. Okay, Boy George.

Imo veneers don't often improve the looks or the face, rather just makes for an uncanny and plastic trashy look.
Compare these original teeth, a little bit yellow and snaggled arguably but quite endearingly pointy and crooked....

Have got one veneer over a single tooth (a peg tooth, the lateral upper incisor), and though I've had it for years it still feels really weird in my mouth, and occasionally I remember it's there and become aware of its strange smooth syntheticness. It looks completely real, though, so fair play to my dentist.
Also had traintracks plus extractions as a teen, which apparently straightened my teeth and made more space in my mouth, though I only wore retainers for a few years after then sacked it off (it's so much hassle and quite painful tbh) so my teeth might get totally crooked again in a decade or two. Life's too short.

R39 Brazilians have good teeth. It's absolutely standard for them to brush their teeth after every meal. The Brazilians I know find it gross that someone would not brush their teeth several times a day. If you tell them that not everyone does, they look at you the way you would if someone tells you he doesn't wipe his butt.

R79 for the past month or so I’ve been using a natural organic health-food store toothpaste, after having a horrible allergic reaction to a supermarket name-brand one that basically chemically seared my mouth and left my lips bleeding and blistered.
But I fear that going fluoride-free isn’t good, as my gums look less healthy and the gaps in my teeth seem a bit wider now. Somehow I’ve got to find a toothpaste with fluoride but no SLS and such things.

Question—I had braces and later retainers on NHS dental as a teen/college kid, and until now my teeth have stayed fairly straight. But at 30 I’m now getting a slight misalignment in my bottom front teeth again, probably due to a few knocks in the mouth (clumsiness) and also not keeping up with wearing a retainer as an adult (after several years it gets to be a painful drooling hassle).
I’ve still got my old retainers (now hardened), so could I start wearing them again for a while and in time realign my teeth, or will that not work? Tbh I can live with a bit of crookedness, but it’s annoying me now that I’ve become self-conscious about it.

NSAIDs can also cause certain mouth lesions.
Also, I realize that the standard snarky answer on DL is to ask for your stuff, but the sudden onset of mouth lesions can also be a symptom of an underlying problem, such as a serious skin disorder called pemphigus, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Behcet's disease, autoimmune disease, anemia, HIV, or, in rare cases, oral cancer or leukemia.
Also, there are several different types of toothpaste with different active ingredients for anti-cavity. Look closely at the labels. It may also not be the active ingredient but another additive in the toothpaste to which you are having a reaction.
Rather than guessing, if you have insurance, you may want to see a real doctor.

Retainers reflect the alignment of both your upper and lower teeth. While you may be more aware of shifts in the bottom teeth, that shift may be the result of several other shifts in the alignment of both your upper and lower teeth. If you have access to dental care, you are better off going to a dentist, rather than trying to fix the problem on your own.
