I keep wondering why we are seeing so many braced girls from the US and from Brasil - and so few from other countries... Is it so much more cheeper there to have braces? Or do we only miss the best smiles of Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, Portugal, England, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Hungary??? :?

I don't know about Brazil, but as for the USA, it's because of all the cross-ethnic marriages that result in fewer "pure" mouth patterns and more mallocollusion among offspring. However, as for headgear, that seems to be more common in Europe, both in the UK and on the mainland. Not sure why that is the case.

The United States probably has more people in braces due to more disposable income and intense pressure to look perfect.

Australia seems to have an abundance of younger girls in braces (10-15) but then very very few older than that, and then the few that do get them after that age seem to opt for clear braces... much to my own dismay :roll:

here in spain you normally don't see any people wearing hg in public. I had a classmate who had to wear it @ school when we were 9 or 10 (don't really remember) and everyone laugth @ her.
That's pretty common in spain

From what I've seen in Canada, tons and tons of teenagers have braces, but it's very rare to see them on adults

The number of adults in New Zealand and Australia with braces is increasing. Most adults I've spoken to at my ortho's offices are happy to be able to afford treatment, but they're not into taking photos and sharing their progress on the web.

This thread got me thinking- what countries, (other than the US of course), provide orthodontic care under their national health care plan? For the ones that do, how does it work? Is it the same for kids and adults? Are there any limitations? Is it possible to pay for care out of pocket and are there any advantages? Thanks much for any info!

I think Canada's healthcare covers part of the cost, not 100% sure though.
