AUSTIN POWERS’ TEETH INSPIRING BRITS TO GET DENTAL WORK

LONDON (Wireless Flash) – Austin Powers’ crooked teeth may be funny to you but it’s no joke to the British. According to a survey by Invisalign Braces, 11 percent of English people hate their teeth so much, they cover their mouth while talking and 19 percent hate smiling. British orthodontist Dr. Morris Fine also says the English are sick of hearing bad jokes like: If socialized medicine is so great, why do all Brits have lousy teeth? Dr. Fine says Austin Powers’ stained, crooked teeth may have been the last straw and he believes the character’s teeth looked so ugly that it has inspired many Brits to get dental work done. As a result, he says as many as 36 percent of English are planning to fix their teeth as soon as possible.
