Aren’t people bothered by bad teeth alignment? I’m wearing braces on the front of my teeth, but some papas say things like, “You’d be cute even without braces,” or “You know, I haven’t had braces either, but my teeth are perfectly clean,” and then show me their nasty crooked teeth. From my perspective, I can’t understand how they can live without getting orthodontic treatment. Even if someone is beautiful, bad teeth make them unattractive, and saying someone is cute despite having crooked teeth is only acceptable until their early twenties, right?

Besides, it’s not really beauty—it’s a childish kind of cuteness.
I’ve hardly ever seen a papa with straight, perfectly white teeth. Actually, I may never have met one.
Why don’t they care about the alignment of their teeth?
I paid the 1 million yen cost of my orthodontic treatment myself when I was 18. I was still a teenager and managed to pay for it, so I can’t understand why papas, who have money, don’t spend any on their teeth.

My parents suggested that I get braces when I was little. At the time, I thought, “They’re painful and uncomfortable, and I’m embarrassed about how they look.” But now I’m truly grateful.
It’s wonderful that you managed to straighten your teeth on your own.
Even now, I never skip regular dental checkups, whitening treatments, or daily care.
As for the papas, their teeth are generally “average.” Most of them have fairly decent teeth by default, which I envy.
That said, they don’t usually go as far as getting whitening treatments, so sometimes I think they’d look even better if they did.

Japanese people may be the only ones who don’t seem to care about crooked teeth.
Do you think having crooked teeth is cute just because you’re in your 20s? Not at all. Even at 10, crooked teeth look unclean.

In the past, far fewer people had their teeth straightened than they do today.
The 8020 campaign also only began in 1989, so the idea of preventive dentistry has really only become widespread in Japan among people in their 30s and younger.
As long as your teeth are healthy, you can still get orthodontic treatment when you’re older—but it isn’t an option for every older man.
When I was around 20 and living recklessly, I developed a troublesome dental condition and had the nerves removed from about ten teeth.
These days, I brush with floss and a tuft brush, and I have my tartar removed during regular checkups twice a year, but I’m still unable to get orthodontic treatment.
