I have perfect white teeth.
I heard Britons don't really care about their teeth. and that many have crooked or yellow teeth... nothing wrong with that i guess, we have different culture and beliefs.

It's a stereotype.
However, the government doesn't go all out in expenditure on cosmetic dental health.
Due to the fact that we have the NHS..most people rely on their services and the NHS don't go balls out to give you a cosmetic smile.
Whereas in the USA you go to private firms who fight over customers to provide you with the best, hollywoodesque smile.
Another factor is the levels of fluoride / whitening content allowed in toothpaste, its WAY higher in the usa.
Thank god my brace was done with a private firm who , the government are all for cutting costs and giving you a 'working state of dental health'.
