Americans are atuned to straight, healthy teeth. If I see someone’s kid with crooked teeth (or untreated acne) I’m thinking, what’s wrong with the parents?
I had a child who went to the orthodontist, and was such a bad patient that the braces came off early and it was embarrassing. He still doesn’t take care of his teeth, I think. He’s a grown man, though, so I’m out of it.
If the dentist says it is functionally OK, I would leave it.
Actually, overly perfect immaculately straight blinding white teeth are a sign of social insecurity, or a career where appearance is everything rather than performance.
I developed a gap after a tooth was removed years prior. It bugged me, so I did some minor bonding to restore it the way it was. Glad I did. To each his own.
