Healthy oral hygiene is important to me. Cosmetically perfect teeth are not as important to me. I am not going to hold not having had orthodonture as a kid against somebody. My parents couldn't afford braces for me as a kid, and as an adult, my overbite was never bothersome enough to me to go through the cost and discomfort of adult orthodonture. So I'm not about to freak out if a guy doesn't have glossy print magazine ad-perfect teeth, so long as he takes care of his hygiene.
Bad teeth, as in rotten, discolored, crooked, misaligned, huge gaps, missing, etc.--no.
However, slightly crooked, but otherwise healthy and white is fine.
This.
I don't mind slightly crooked. My ex-husband had spaces, though my serious partners after had cosmetically perfect teeth thanks to braces. I've never had braces, and my teeth, cosmetically, look good.

I'm a male interested in females and I will say that if the female has bad teeth that's likely going to be a deal breaker for me. I'm very particular about a person's teeth.
As long as they are not rotting & missing in front, then I don't care much. Even big gaps & snaggle tooths can be overlooked by me. I've known so many with veneers & glow in the dark white teeth who have unhealthy teeth, but they spend the $ to make them look good. Healthy teeth & cultural ideals are not the same thing.
So what? Fixing their teeth straight does not change the fact that they have crooked teeth in their genes.
It is all fake "beauty"
It is funny how people are allowed to be vicious and mean arrogant peeholes but OMG if you don't straighten your teeth or take teeth whitening, then society will lynch you!
Bad teeth is what you see on meth addicts and apple faced 90 year old grandmas in Appalachia. Bad teeth have green fuzz on them and some rotted stumps.
Several Hollywood stars are gat-toothed, and that hasn't hurt their popularity or their looks, either, as far as I am concerned.
