Clara - I am not immune to the 'look good' bug myself. I look at my irregular teeth, what's left of them, and some expensive dental work is definitely somewhere in my priority list. In Britain there was never in my day the same importance attached to achieving regular looking teeth. I did have some orthodontic work done, but when the specialist moved to London and 'went private' and we moved when I was 13, it fell by the wayside. Given my age, my greatest enemy is now time, I'm in a hurry, and I don't wish to spend too much of what I have left on lengthy or very expensive treatments to improve my looks to the maximum possible, provided that I can be happy: but I'm certainly willing to pursue any limited work that promises good returns on the time and money invested.

I know the feeling with the bad teeth part all to well, mine started crumbling on me years back (high sulfur content in local drinking water), I'd love to get them fixed but it is going to involve a LOT of hell and thanks to obozocare (it caused prices to go into galactic orbit) the cost in money is going to be beyond absurd (assuming I can "ever" save it up)
