No. I come from a family that always had bad teeth, and mine were a crooked mess. What's worse, there was a stretch of time where I didn't take good care of them, and ended up with a mouth full of cavities. Later, I wised up, got the cavities fixed, and took much better care of them. I got some orthodontic work done, which made them look a little better, and then got involved in a head-on car crash (not my fault). Three of my teeth were knocked out, and my jaw was broken in four places. Oh well, so much for the orthodontic work. My teeth look like shit, but I haven't had a new cavity in decades, only old problems from long ago.
my goodness, the detail section should have come with a trigger warning given the first picture displayed as an example of ones teeth, yuck.
With that said, as someone who has constantly been teased as a kid for having crooked and overcrowded teeth by family and strangers etc. And had to go out of my way to educate myself about oral health and dental insurance due to parental ignorance in that realm. I was able to finally get braces when I was 18 and then had to get it again in my mid 20s due to being lazy about keeping my retainers in the first time as advised. So now that I had to pay for them a second time. I am now happy with my smile and feel the last thing I will need done in order to feel completely confident in my smile is to get them whitened. I dont want them to be Hollywood white but close to it if I can.
Mine came in naturally straight and perfect. At 21 my denial about wisdom teeth was real. The horror stories had me pushing off the dental consult for three months of pain. All four of mine had come in with tops facing forward. That time started the shifting which went on after the surgery.
Also have a jaw injury from a car accident as a kid, the dentist has same injury, ironically, and said leave it or fix the jaw first. I left the slight crowding. Not worth all that work.
Ironically I just went to the dentist yesterday.
yeah I’m fine with my teeth. I’m always told by every dentist they are very hard and in great shape. No cavities either. Only flaw was I painfully needed my wisdom teeth taken out.
i do not need or have them whitened. Sometimes I’d like them a little more white though! So does activated charcoal do the trick?

They're good, but like I did get work done on my teeth cause I broke my two fronts as a child and corrected them later and I have to do a follow up soon, so I will also treat and clean them professionally and maybe a little tiny bit bleach once but I don't like the paper white teeth shit.
Like you said it's not that natural
They aren't bad. After my next dentist visit, it will be better.
I only care about clean teeth and symmetry... I'm fine with spaces once the space is centered or symetrical... I don't have any rider ( one lower tooth fixed years ago) so.
I actually specifically like fangs so I wouldn't shave my teeth.
My teeth don't look bad. I brush & floss everyday but I didn't always do that. Especially when I was depressed 🤣 So they're just not as white as some might prefer.
But if I whiten them, I'd wanna do it in a healthy way. I'll probably look into it when I get roasted badly enough.
I keep them clean.
But accept that right from the start they weren't of the best quality, and that with age changes in colour do occur; and that the get lost here or there.
The American style teeth craze is something I feel too smart to join in.
When we tend to say that 'doctors' are drug dealers',
then I will add: 'dentists are failed car polishers'.
Nah I need braces and haven't gotten them yet. Still have like 3-4 cavities that I refused to get filled cause I've never had that done before and I'm nervous about it.
Happy enough. I had braces once. I made the mistake of stopping wearing my retainer and they shifted some since. No way am I paying what it'd cost now to have them straightened perfectly again. If you want perfection you don't want to know me anways. Lol
My teeth are acceptable, they do not look like a movie stars teeth but my weight loss materials make my teeth yellow. I will just buy a teeth whitener when I’m done the first phase of my diet to resolve it. No big deal.
I'm okay with them. I'm at least glad they're not crooked. I started getting braces when I was either in elementary school or middle school and now my teeth are somewhat straight.
i want my teeth to be whitened when i'm old enough, but if i don't get them whitened that won't bother me much either. but yeah, i'd say i'm pretty happy with my teeth.
My teeth are very straight but not pearly white. I'm content with them. I tend to brush and floss 2-3 times a day although they're a bit stained (maybe because I love black coffee).
I am fortunate to have really nice teeth, I'm pretty good about brushing and flossing regularly and other than a wisdom tooth I had removed I have all of them.
My entire family had poor teeth. Both parents had dentures. My sister had the best teeth and still needed a lot of work. I have lost several teeth and have bridges to replace them.
At this stage they are what they are. As long as I don't smile it's fine. Yes I'm in the UK and yes we all have bad teeth here.
My teeth are good. They are mostly straight and they do give me any problems. I had two cavities filled last week. I have not had a cavity in 30 year, s.
I'm happy with my teeth. I don't get them professionally whitened, but I do use whitening toothpaste and I rinse after tea or coffee.
I need $10k+ worth of work to make my teeth/mouth how I would like it. Can't afford that so I live with it how it is.
I don't have any problems with my tooth color, but I used to have a single annoying slightly crooked tooth. I put braces when i was a teen though, and now I'm pretty happy with my teeth.
I wasn't so I went dentist and spent 000s of dollars to fix them.
I still have work to do including 2 extractions and 3 implants.
Gonna be fun time
Not really us British are renowned for not looking after them like we should unfortunately
I am more than happy I am excited about them, because I never gotten a single cavity my dentist always tell me my teeth tend to be really clean.
