Are there orthodontists in England?

OKAY, OKAY settle down... I really want to know!


I've noticed that almost all British actors have crooked teeth (even Kiera Knightly, who I love). Here in the US almost every teenager wears braces at some point and you don't have to be famous or necessarily rich; a nice smile is everything to us. Both my kids wore braces and I get my teeth whitened, which is very commonplace here. Is it just not a big deal in England? Does England embrace their crooked teeth? Do you have orthodontists in England?

Reply:I think they're not nearly as ego-driven and paranoid about their looks as Americans. Though my arts work has been mostly onstage, I've done a bit of film work and seen a LOT of caps. I'm not pro or con -- merely perplexed about the whole slavish devotion to image.





By the way, Stephen Sondheim wrote a so-so show with Richard Rodgers called "Do I Hear a Waltz?" in which an Italian pensione [hotel] owner bags on various types of Europeans who stay at her pensione [it's decidedly un-P.C., but very fun]. Here's her verse about the British:





This week, the English


You should see the English!


All that tea, the English --


Thirsty, I suppose.





Good eggs, the English


Rotten legs, the English


All those teeth, the Engish --


Rows and rows and rows!
Reply:I think there are but they don't like to care their teeths as we do.....they even don't take 2 or 3 showers a day like us..... so, it's something cultural!!!! I think so!!!!





lol
