I&#x27;m an American with $10k or so into Orthodontia to make my teeth straight (I had gaps that were a big self-confidence issue for me) but no, seeing someone with insanely bleached white teeth definitely stands out in my head and always looks strange to me. I think there is a pretty big line between Hollywood White and Smoker Yellow.<p>To give a perspective, if it&#x27;s needed, when I was in middle school (6th-8th) just about every single one of my friends at that point had either had, or was currently wearing braces of some sort.<p>I&#x27;ve now had braces 3 times (Invisalign actually) because my teeth won&#x27;t stop moving. If I go a few days without wearing a retainer (I wear it nightly) they look different. A month or two without (I&#x27;ve lost the retainer before) and I&#x27;m going for round 4. Not sure if this is a genetic thing, or what, my cousins and sister have had the same thing happen, but I know plenty of other people who have never worn their retainers and barely had any movement.
