Why would you spend a fortune on veneers if you have perfectly functioning teeth? That should be the real question. I suppose veneers are what the OP calls "good teeth".

OP, you're going to have to give us a clear definition of what you consider "bad teeth". Because the examples you gave in your links show some pretty good teeth, along with some mediocre samples.

Do you mean cosmetically-enhanced (whether by veneers, orthodontia or other means), vs. natural, healthy teeth? You seem to mean perfectly even teeth are "good teeth", and a smile with one or two teeth just slightly uneven = "bad teeth". This is an odd definition. But if that's what you have in mind, you should spell it out in words, not just post photos to leave us guessing. Your inclusion of Radcliffe as an example of "bad teeth" has everyone bewildered.

Clarification needed.

Well they don't look that amazing. Maybe OP is secretly European.

I think you're right. He's got that poofy European thing about him. He's no red-blooded American.

Because some national health services in Europe do not cover dental care and/or are not obsessed with perfectly even teeth like Americans do.

In my view, most Europeans have good teeth. Sone having one or two uneven teeth do not mean they have bad teeth.

It's a dated stereotype from the days in which cosmetic dentistry had taken off in the US, but not yet in Europe. OP needs to up his game if he wants to be insulting.

I'd worry more about his appalling taste in music and film :P

Seriously though, it's an outdated stereotype that the British have bad teeth and one that, alongside Americans being fat and stupid, needs to be put to bed.

I agree. It is a stereotype. Cosmetic dentistry is still more popular in the US but gaining ground in other countries.
