Orthodontics - it needs courage!

Few Japanese used to think positive about orthodontics due to following reason;

1. Looks bad or ugly?
Many Japanese thought that braces were conspicuous. Also, the extraction of tooth may be needed in some treatment, so we sometimes were afraid to be looked bad for this.

2. Double tooth regarded as charming.
Japanese had thought that double tooth was cute, so we didn't think about straitening our own teeth.

3. It costs very expensive - about one million yen (about $8330, 7140 Euro) or more.

Recently, however, a number of Japanese has been positive to have orthodontics, and more and more grown-ups with braces are found in my country.
It seems because many Japanese have been concerned for their health. Many kinds of health foods are sold, and the number of going fitness center has been increasing. Orthodontics is the one of choice to be healthier.

Anyway, I wish it were less expensive....
