On a somehat related note, it makes me think of parents that are too worried about how to raise their kids properly, so they overcompensate by wasting lots of money. It's a real growth market here in America to buy loads of useless crap for kids.

Well I needed braces...I had these old pictures (I'll try to find them) of my teeth. Man, they were fucked up. Surgery is excessive, yes.

i never needed braces, just those plastic things you can take out.. my teeth were ok but my jaws weren't.. and now the dentist always asks me if i havent been asked for a toothpaste commercial yet so i guess it helped :D

Well my dad never needed 'em, and I'm not sure about my mom. My sister had them, but she had a very simple quick and easy braces, then (one) retainer, nothing as serious as I have.
