Metal Mouth Message Board

Sorry, I don't know how to post a picture but does anyone watch "Medium" with Patricia Arquette? I love that show but honestly, I am constantly distracted by her teeth! Personally, I think she's beautiful but...she's got two upper teeth drastically out of alignment - kind of a "fang look". The thing is, I think I read that she refuses to do anything about it because its a part of her and blah, blah, blah...while part of me agrees, I also can't help but think how stunningly beautiful she would be if her teeth were straight.

Am I shallow? I know the plots on "Medium" involve dreams and visions but can't we have a little side plot - Allison gets braces? Can you imagine a main character (an adult!) on a popular TV show getting braces? Now that would be a dream!

flowertowngal - I have to admit that I have never watched Medium but I googled images of Patricia Arquette and you know what I noticed? There aren't any pictures of her with her mouth open . Looks like she has perfected the art of smiling with her mouth closed like most of us I suspose...

I think she is beautiful and of course have noticed her teeth since I seem to notice EVERYONES teeth these days....I say good for her..but no I don't think you are shallow..I know jsut what you mean and yes it would be very cool to see some plots involving braces..i'd love that!

Her teeth are particularly noticeable in the movie 'Holes'. I've thought the same thing - I wonder what she'd look like with straight teeth. My front teeth were like hers and I just love how mine are changing!

I noticed the same thing. But, see below. A few got away from her. Sorry they are so big. But this is not to say that in the last year that I haven't also perfected the same Mona Lisa smile.

I don't blame her. My teeth were a bit crooked also, but I had a perfect bite. If my impacted canine issue hadn't reared its ugly head I would have left my teeth alone. It never bothered me.

I have to say, I'm the last person on Earth who has the right to judge anyone's teeth. Mine look a million times worse than hers. And if she's happy, then what does it matter what she looks like?
I'm not getting braces to make the world happy. I'm getting them to make me happy.

Im not sure its so much a judgement, just an amazement that someone in the entertainment business doesnt have straight teeth.
