It seems that among humans, many of us tend to have serious issues with our teeth. Other species and our fossil forebears didn’t seem to face the same problems. That’s why some of us need to have surgery or put braces on for months, if not years until our teeth are in perfect shape. But at the end of the day, the results are worth the while and money, and people can’t wait to share them with the world.
