My second and youngest daughters have been getting their teeth treated because of crowding of the teeth for two years. My youngest daughter looked happy this morning. She was going to see her dentist and have the appliance removed. I was relieved to see her corrected teeth.
Talking of teeth, when I was a medical student about 30 years ago, my clinical instructor asked us, "How and who do you choose among some unconscious people who were equally seriously injured and transferred into your hospital at the same time?" The answer was, "You can figure out his or her lifestyle from their teeth. The condition of the teeth highly correlates with their daily life or their social status. The distinction is of course not good, however you would often have to make prompt decisions about many difficult problems." It was a tough question. This might be one of the reasons that I recommended my daughters to get the orthodontics.
