I threw my retainer in the trash and you’

Once a month,versace sunglasses,the Western fantasy of the tradition., after school,New Era Hats, I used to walk across town to get my braces tightened by my dentist.
Dr. Cashion was a folksy man,baseball caps, as in,Ray Ban Sunglasses, he didn’t wear gloves when he touched my teeth. I’d wait in the operating chair, listening to his assistant tell knock-knock jokes until Dr. Cashion shuffled my way. I’d inevitably bust out of there forty minutes late and speed-walk back to school, late to orchestra and suffering from my stretched jaw.
My reward for all that pain? A smile as symmetrical as college-ruled paper. Yet, I’ve been wondering lately, with the influx of crooked-teethed stars,akley sunglasses, whether it was all worth it.
“Straight teeth are bullshit,Wholesale Jordan Hats,” said Keira Knightley. Amy Winehouse’s mouth looks like Stonehenge and Kirsten Dunst’s teeth aren’t exactly picture perfect. Of course,Baseball Hats, best of all is Chuck Bass’ crooked grin. It’s not like these people can’t afford perfection but rather they’re saying,Versace Sunglasses, “I threw my retainer in the trash and you’re going to like me regardless.”
The problem with braces isn’t that they’re one more symbol of unnatural beauty,Wholesale DC Hats, not that they cost thousands of dollars and not that once removed the changed teeth often return to their natural state,Fendi Sunglasses, but that braces are also, when forced on children,dc hats, unethical. They make kids’ gums ache for years and cut up their cheeks. “It’s like forced plastic surgery for children,Mulberry Bayswater,” says my straight-toothed friend Josh – without anaesthesia,Football Jerseys,Brooke Creates Cute, of course.
“I was totally obsessed with my two front teeth being straight from ages 12-19,monster energy hats,” says my friend Tamzin,new era hats, who had braces twice. “Then the second time they went back to being crooked, I said,oakley sunglasses, ######## it – it’s not meant to be.”
So embrace your crooked smiles, don’t force your kid to get braces and admit it,New Era Hats,including publications in emerging markets like China, you want to make out with Chuck Bass,new era hats, British teeth and all.
