My family is middle class/lower middle class and both me and my sibling had braces, as well as lots of dental work like regular check ups. It’s actually normal where I’m from, because there are lots of payment plans and insurance for it. I would say that most people have pretty nice teeth.
I think its definitely a cultural thing that the breakdown of payments is available and that it's a priority for so many families. But for people without health insurance basic dental care can be tricky.
All of my friends in high school had braces and great teeth; I grew up in an affluent area.
But in college that all changed; most people had never even been to am orthodontist
