Hi!! I think it stems from the fact that when you see British children on film,or TV none seem to wear tooth braces!. But in the states nearly every other child appears to have braced teeth!.
Even on their shows it is seen often!. Oprah, Springer and that type of show are good illustrations!.
With us though if they do not need fixing, do not have the braces!. That alone i think gives the American people the wrong impression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Septics (septc tanks=yanks) don't have good teeth, they just have this strange fixation with their own mortality - and when teeth decay, this is one of the first signs of many that remind them they aren't going to be around forever!.

Though, I find it even more laughable that they find their permanantly fixed dentures (which look bloody aweful) a great look!. It doesn't!. They look like dentures; fake teeth!. Just like fake boobs!. They are obvious and look wierd!.

Oh, and don't get me started on tooth whitening!.!.!. that's just cheesy!. Cheesy little grins with bleached white teeth!.

Fake teeth for fake people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 23, lived in the USA and I have never heard of this!.

When talking about the UK, all I know is 4 things
1!. u guys are crazy about soccer and rugby
2!. your underground music scene is awesome and has lots of support
3!. most things are expensive and cost of living is high
4!. at night and in most urban areas I'd probably get stabbed just for walking somewhere

dunno if above are true or not, but i've never heard of the teeth thingWww@Answer-Health@Com

it was a movie!. And its a stero-type!. just like when you see a movie with black (excuse me, African American) people and they are dressed and talk like 'gangsters'!. There all not like that, but alot are!.

Plus its a comedy!. Lighten up!

And the majority of people in the UK don't have the best teeth!. Austin Powers teeth were just exaggerated

so chillWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I have travelled to US many times and I have seen people with awful teeth there!. I think the US were more into the braces for kids thing years ago but all kids seem to have braces in UK now!. It is just a stereotype - not all Americans are fat - or rather there are no more fat people than in the UK!. Not all Americans chew gum either!. Still, these stereotypes can be quite funny, Frenchmen with berets and strings of onions on bicycles etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah ive heard that too!.
i'm from the uk and i'd say my teeth are pretty good!.
but i think the us say that because some people in the uk do have bad teeth tbh!.!. ive met some people over here with reallly bad teeth!.
and pretty much every american always have great teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to think that also till I actually traveled to the UK! Boy was I mistaken, people in the UK's teeth looked just as normal as American teeth did!Www@Answer-Health@Com
